PPG Industries očekává za čtvrtletí EPS ve výši 2,13 USD, tedy beze změny oproti předchozímu roku, a tržby 4,28 mld. USD, což představuje meziroční nárůst o 4,7 %.
PPG Industries (PPG - Free Report) is expected to deliver flat earnings compared to the year-ago quarter on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 27, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis paint and coatings maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.13 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter.
Revenues are expected to be $4.28 billion, up 4.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.42% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for PPG Industries?For PPG Industries, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.71%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that PPG Industries will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that PPG Industries would post earnings of $2.26 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.23, delivering a surprise of -1.33%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
PPG Industries doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

PPG Industries vytvořila v první polovině roku 2026 provozní peněžní tok ve výši 594 milionů USD, meziročně o 223 milionů USD více, což podpořilo výplatu dividend a zpětné odkupy akcií.
Key Takeaways PPG generated $594 million in operating cash flow in the first half of 2026, supporting shareholder returns.Cost savings and pricing actions lifted Global Architectural Coatings' EBITDA margin 100 bps to 19.4%.PPG returned $1.4 billion to shareholders in 2025 and has raised its annual dividend for 54 straight years. PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG - Free Report) is supported by its robust cash flow from operating activities. It has outdone its last year’s cash flow performance by $223 million, by reporting $594 million in operating cash flow in the first half of 2026. It is expected to continue on this trajectory as its cost reduction and pricing actions keep benefiting the company.
This strong cash flow supported $175 million of share repurchases and $317 million in dividends during the first half, with total shareholder returns of about $235 million in the second quarter.
Structural and restructuring initiatives are lowering the company’s costs, with $75 million in structural cost savings in 2025 and $20 million in the first quarter of 2026, followed by about $15 million in restructuring savings in the second quarter of 2026. Selling prices are also increasing. These actions are supporting margin expansion, particularly in Global Architectural Coatings, where EBITDA margin improved 100 basis points year over year to 19.4%. The resulting improvement in profitability, combined with disciplined capital allocation and lower leverage, is enabling stronger operating cash flow.
PPG returned $1.4 billion to shareholders in 2025 and increased its annual dividend payout for 54 consecutive years. Continued cash generation and disciplined capital deployment should help continue the trend of enhancing shareholder value.
Among its major peers, Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW - Free Report) generated a higher net operating cash of $1.49 billion during the first six months of 2026 compared with $1.05 billion in fiscal 2025. Sherwin-Williams has also been actively implementing aggressive cost-control initiatives, optimizing its supply chain and focusing on productivity improvements to boost its cash-generating capacity.
Celanese Corporation (CE - Free Report) recorded operating cash inflow of roughly $285 million for the first six months of 2026, down from the previous-year period’s $447 million. Celanese continued to pursue growth by accelerating cost improvements and deleveraging to strengthen cash generation.

Dow snížil čtvrtletní dividendu z 0,70 USD na 0,35 USD a i přes výnos 4,72 % zůstává pod tlakem slabých zisků. PPG má naopak nejbezpečnější dividendu v sektoru díky růstu tržeb, zisku a dalšímu zvýšení výplaty.
Commodity chemical stocks are flashing eye-catching yields right now, but one name on this list already burned investors with a dividend cut this cycle while another is riding a supply shock that could reverse before the balance sheet heals.
Commodity chemicals are a punishing business at the wrong point in the cycle. These companies sell building-block materials into construction, autos, packaging and coatings, and when industrial activity slows, volumes and prices fall together while the plants still cost the same to run. Earnings compress faster than revenue, cash generation thins, and dividends that looked routine at the top look strained near the bottom. That is precisely the moment when yield alone is a poor guide to safety. Consider that Dow (NYSE:DOW | DOW Price Prediction) has already told investors what a stretched payout looks like in this environment: the quarterly dividend was reduced from $0.70 to $0.35 starting with the August 2025 ex-date, and the stock is still down 36.93% over five years. Three big US chemical names, three very different dividend safety pictures.
Dow: A Reset Payout Still Leaning on Self-Help Dow is a commodity chemicals producer selling polyethylene, industrial intermediates and performance materials into packaging, infrastructure, coatings and consumer end markets. Shares closed at $29.02 with a market cap around $20.97 billion. The current dividend yield is 4.72%, built on a quarterly rate of $0.35 per share that has held steady across all three 2026 ex-dividend dates.
The safety read has to start with the reset. Dow paid $0.70 quarterly from May 2019 through May 2025, then cut in half. That kills any Aristocrat framing and reframes the question as whether the new, lower payout is durable. On Q2 coverage, the answer is yes for now: operating cash flow of $1.331 billion, capital expenditures of $632 million and a $253 million dividend payout leaves room. Trailing profitability, however, is thin. TTM EPS is -$1.79, the Q1 2026 GAAP loss was $445 million, and the full year 2025 saw operating cash flow of $1.032 billion against a $1.490 billion dividend payout. Balance sheet is workable, with management citing approximately $14 billion of total available liquidity and no substantive debt maturities due until 2029.
The bull case for the income investor is that Dow has already ripped the bandage off and is running a disciplined self-help program. CEO Karen Carter said Dow expects total self-help benefits to exceed $1.3 billion this year, an increase of $200 million from the prior target, with Transform to Outperform on track for approximately $700 million this year against a $2 billion total opportunity. Q2 packaging and specialty plastics operating EBIT swung to roughly $1.28 billion from $71 million a year earlier.
The risk is what a management team says between the lines. On the call, CFO Jeff Tate said “with improved earnings and cash conversion, we will prioritize any excess cash towards the leveraging” and flagged intent to pay down “a little over a billion dollars” of accumulated debt. Deleveraging first means the dividend has to earn its keep out of a cash flow stream that has already forced one cut this cycle. Q3 EBITDA is guided to approximately $1.7 billion, well below Q2.
LyondellBasell: An Ultra-High Yield Riding a Middle East Tailwind LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE:LYB) is the world’s largest licensor of polyethylene and polypropylene technologies, selling olefins, polyolefins, oxyfuels and intermediates into packaging, healthcare, infrastructure, wire and cable, automotive and construction. Shares recently traded at $63.71, with a market cap of $20.57 billion. The stated dividend yield is 6.41%, which clears the ultra-high-yield bar, on a TTM dividend per share of $4.12.
The safety read for LYB is the most complicated of this trio. LYB paid a quarterly dividend of $1.37 through the December 2025 payment, then dropped to $0.69 on the three 2026 ex-dates in March, June and August. That is a sharply lower headline payment than a year ago, and it means the trailing yield reflects a rate the company is no longer paying. On coverage, Q2 2026 operating cash flow of $752 million against capex of $270 million and a $224 million dividend leaves a real cushion, but Q1 operating cash flow was negative $269 million on seasonal working capital. Liquidity is strong: LYB ended the quarter with $2.6 billion of cash and $7.1 billion of liquidity, and management is targeting $500 million of incremental cash flow by the end of 2026. TTM EPS is -$0.82.
The bull case rests on a genuine near-term margin tailwind. CEO Peter Vanacker said “approximately 6 million tons of polyethylene capacity or around 20 to 25% of Middle East supply sustained damage from the conflict and will not restart until at least 2027”, and April polyethylene contract prices rose 30 cents per pound, described as “the largest increase on record”. Q2 EBITDA ex-items was $2.13 billion versus $715 million in Q2 2025, O&P Americas EBITDA was approximately four times higher than the same quarter last year, and CFO Agustin Izquierdo said “our dividends as well continues to be an important piece” of the capital allocation framework.
The risk is the cycle setup for exactly this kind of yield. LYB’s stated priority is “to rebuild the balance sheet, improve our credit metrics and fortify… our position as we go here through the cycle”, with June polyethylene contracts already 15 cents per pound lower than April’s peak. If Middle East normalization arrives faster than the company expects, the near-term cash tailwind fades before the balance sheet is rebuilt, and this is the payout on the list with the least margin for error (we cataloged the seven warning signs that a big yield is about to be cut in a free report here).
PPG Industries: A Coatings Franchise Still Raising the Payout PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) is a specialty coatings company selling architectural, industrial, aerospace and refinish paints and coatings. That is a fundamentally different business from a commodity cracker operator: branded consumer exposure, aerospace backlog, and pricing that leans on formulation rather than pounds shipped. Shares recently traded at $105.47, with a market cap of $23.45 billion. The dividend yield is 2.70%, well below its cyclical peers, on a TTM dividend per share of $2.84.
TTM EPS is $6.99, the trailing P/E is 15, and management reaffirmed FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $7.70 to $8.10. PPG stayed GAAP-profitable in every quarter shown, with Q2 net income of $439 million, and it has room to keep buying back stock on top of the dividend: $75 million in Q2 repurchases and $175 million year to date. Balance sheet cash was $1.520 billion. The dividend history is the cleanest of the group. The recent quarterly cadence moved from $0.65 in early 2024, to $0.68 later in 2024, to $0.71 through early 2026, to $0.74 on the August 2026 ex-date. Payment records extend back to 1999.
The bull case is that the coatings franchise is genuinely less cyclical than the cracker peers. Q2 revenue rose 7.15% year over year to $4.495 billion, marking a sixth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth, outpacing the industry by 300 basis points, and the aerospace backlog stands at approximately $300 million with double-digit organic growth. For an income investor prioritizing safety, PPG is the clearest coverage picture on this list even with the lowest yield.
The risk is margin timing. Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.23 missed the $2.25 estimate, Performance Coatings segment EBITDA margin fell 300 basis points year over year on auto refinish weakness, and the company said it had covered roughly 90% of COGS inflation in Q2, targeting 100% by Q4. Index-based pricing timing is expected to compress Industrial Coatings margin in H2 2026, and the shares have already reflected some of that, down 7.94% over the past month.
What to Watch on Payout Safety Three chemicals, three different dividend stories. PPG offers the best positioned payout of the group: real earnings, real free cash flow, an unbroken record of small annual increases, and coatings exposure that softens the industrial cycle. Dow’s reset payout is being covered today and the self-help program is delivering, but management’s own capital allocation language puts deleveraging ahead of the dividend and the yield reflects that risk. LyondellBasell offers the ultra-high yield on the list, and the Middle East disruption is providing a genuine cash tailwind, but the headline quarterly rate has already stepped down from a year ago and the recovery math depends on a supply dislocation staying constructive longer than the company itself can promise.

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.
