PPG Industries Inc. has seen a
rise in stock prices on some days, yet it still slightly underperforms the market. The company is evidently
attracting investor attention owing to its
strong institutional backing, but its
financial prospects have shown some weakness. The
investment and strategic moves by PPG are also noted, such as the
$300 million investment to boost manufacturing in North America and planning to build a
$225 million facility in Loudon County, creating jobs. Despite missing Q1 revenue estimates owing to lower sales volume, PPG Industries has
beaten Q4 profit estimates with record sales and strong cash flow.
An interesting development is the potential sale of its U.S and Canada paints business, as the company is reviewing strategic alternatives. Meanwhile, PPG has been appointed to executive roles in its industrial and automotive coatings divisions, and announced some executive appointments recently.
Governor Lee and Commissioner McWhorter have announced PPG's plan to construct a paint and coatings facility in Loudon County. The company has also launched the 'Tomorrow Included' sustainability marketing concept for Architectural Coatings in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and recognized as only paint and coatings manufacturer on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable U.S companies list.
