Actions taken by PPG Industries, Inc (NYSE:PPG) have elicited mixed reactions. The company's decision to lay off 1,800 employees and close several facilities to reduce operating costs may indicate a struggle with financial sustainability. Simultaneously, it aims to sell its coatings unit and some parts of its business to rejuvenate its operations. This includes the announcement to divest its architectural coatings U.S. and Canada business and silicas products business. On another notable but positive aspect, PPG autonomous MOONWALK Paint Mixing System now has customers in all 50 U.S. states. While the company's Q3 2024 earnings missed estimates, it did manage to outperform competitors on few robust trading days. Notwithstanding the obstacles, the company seeks to continue its commitment to advanced manufacturing with a substantial investment planned in North America. Despite the ongoing issues, a portion of the investment community seems to maintain faith in PPG Industries, as evidenced by a new investment from Radnor Capital Management LLC and other stock purchases by various LLCs.
