PPG Industries has seen a flurry of activities both promising and challenging. While trading performed strongly one day, the stock has generally underperformed in the past few years, with shares incurring a 24% loss if invested three years ago. Several investment firms, including Avanza Fonder AB, Miracle Mile Advisors LLC, and JGP Wealth Management LLC, acquired new stakes, hoping to see a turnaround for the industry giant. This comes as PPG faces challenges - equipment malfunctions and weak demand for industrial coatings have missed estimates for quarterly profit, leading to a cost-cutting initiative involving 1,800 layoffs. Due to these issues, PPG has also opted to sell operations, such as its architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada to American Industrial Partners and its silicas products to QEMETICA. Despite these challenges, PPG remains strong in other areas, such as their commitment to Penn College, a leadership reshuffle, and recognition as one of TIME Magazine's \"World's Best Companies.\" Absent from the financial performance news are upcoming earnings projections and 'underperforming' allegations.
