PPG Industries exhibits a strategic mix of progressive moves and business restructuring. Earnings growth is visible, supported by robust
investments, manufacturing expansion in North America, and growth-driving projects in Malaysia and Vietnam. Interestingly, the company has introduced a quality control app and its latest
SOI Coating built for oil, gas, and infrastructure industries. This innovation pipeline, coupled with focus on technological advancement, vests well for future growth. However, quarterly revenue misses signal elements of uncertainty. Amid weak volumes, PPG is exploring strategic alternatives for its U.S. and Canada architectural coating business. More so, its silicas business is seeing a divestiture to Qemetica for $310 million. The company's acquisition strategy has been criticized for failed delivery of growth, shaking investor confidence while it languishes in the market. Dividend Aristocrats rankings place PPG amongst their top members, indicating optimistic forecasts. As part of efforts to shape sustainability in broader markets, PPG has launched its 'Tomorrow Included' marketing concept for architectural coatings. Recently, there's a major leap with a $300 million investment plan to create jobs through a new facility.
