Over the last week, a flurry of activities engulfed PPG Industries Inc. From underperforming in the stock market to the sale of its architectural coatings business, renamed as The Pittsburgh Paints Company. The company also announced a comprehensive reduction program which will cut 1,800 jobs globally and includes the selling off of manufacturing plants. Despite these measures, PPG received recognition for being a top employer, earning 18 Spot in Computerworld's Best IT Workplaces for 2025 and topping Newsweek's Most Responsible Companies List for 5 consecutive years. However, PPG stock has gone down by 6% since its last earnings report and missed quarterly profit estimates due to weak industrial coatings demand. On the brighter side, a number of institutions and asset managers have boosted their stakes in the company, indicating a somewhat mixed market outlook for PPG. PPG recently completed the expansion of its industrial coatings plant in Vietnam and engaged in leadership changes.
