PPG Industries: Poor Performance In 2025, But Likely Better In 2026 (NYSE:PPG)

PPG Industries: Poor Performance In 2025, But Likely Better In 2026 Summary PPG Industries (PPG) is now a compelling value investment, trading below 15x P/E and offering a 2.7%+ yield near $100/share. PPG’s earnings recovery, M&A-driven growth, and strategic emerging market expansion underpin a bullish outlook. Recent portfolio streamlining and sector consolidation enhance PPG’s resilience despite cyclical end-market volatility in automotive and construction. I expect 14-15% annualized returns as market normalization, integration synergies, and demand recovery drive multiple expansion and earnings growth.
