PPG Industries, Inc.

Let’s find out why PPG stock is worth retaining at the moment.
Aerospace Strength, Share Gains and Cost Actions Support GrowthPPG Industries is benefiting from a combination of aerospace strength, market-share gains, pricing actions and cost-reduction initiatives. The company delivered 4% organic sales growth in the second quarter of 2026, marking its sixth consecutive quarter of organic growth, with gains in eight of nine businesses.
Aerospace remained a key growth driver, posting double-digit organic growth and maintaining an order backlog of nearly $300 million. PPG is also investing more than $0.5 billion in additional aerospace capacity across its approximately $2 billion portfolio of qualified products and productivity solutions, positioning the business for sustained growth.
Industrial Coatings also recorded 5% organic sales growth, supported by volume gains across all three businesses, while automotive OEM volumes outpaced global industry production.
Price increases are another factor for earnings growth, with selling prices up 2% in the quarter and covering about 90% of inflation-related costs. Meanwhile, restructuring efforts are expected to generate roughly $175 million once fully implemented. Strong cash generation further supports shareholder returns, with operating cash flow reaching $592 million in the first half of 2026 and net debt declining by $415 million year over year.
Weak End-Market Demand and Inflationary Pressures Weigh on ResultsAn ailing demand scenario remains a key concern for PPG. Automotive refinish continues to be a significant weakness, with organic sales declining by a double-digit percentage in the second quarter of 2026. While volumes are expected to improve in the second half of the year, management anticipates only modest growth.
European architectural demand also remains soft as consumer sentiment remains mixed by country. Global Architectural Coatings volumes declined 1% in the second quarter. The company therefore remains partly reliant on pricing and cost actions.
In addition, elevated raw material, energy, logistics and packaging costs following the Middle East conflict are creating margin pressure. Cost inflation is expected to remain high in the third quarter, while pricing is not expected to fully offset inflation until the fourth quarter. This timing mismatch could weigh on profitability, particularly in Industrial Coatings.
PPG also faces higher interest expenses, with the company projecting full-year net interest expense at $105-$115 million versus $88 million in 2025. Continued acquisitions, share repurchases and shareholder returns could further limit financial flexibility if operating conditions deteriorate.
