PPG Industries stock was last at USD 105.15 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.46 percent from the prior close. The next company checkpoint is October 27, when PPG plans to release its third-quarter 2026 results, according to Yahoo Finance.

Revenue growth meets an earnings test

PPG reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 4.50 billion, up 7.2 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to MarketBeat. EPS came in at USD 2.23 against a USD 2.25 consensus, a USD 0.02 shortfall, while revenue exceeded the USD 4.37 billion estimate.

The combination is important for the October 27 report: sales growth has continued, but earnings conversion remains the sharper test. PPG also set fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 7.70 to USD 8.10 in the same reported results.

Analysts see a wider valuation gap

MarketBeat's October 2, 2026 survey showed a Hold consensus from 17 analysts, including nine Hold ratings and eight Buy ratings, with an average 12-month target of USD 126.62. That target is 20.4 percent above the October 2 last price of USD 105.15.

Citigroup cut its PPG target to USD 118 from USD 121 while keeping a Neutral rating in a September 30, 2026 report, as MarketBeat reported. The spread between that target and the broader consensus reflects different views on how quickly higher sales can translate into profit.

PPG Industries stock stays below its yearly high

PPG Industries stock was last at USD 105.15 on October 2, 2026, while its 52-week range was USD 93.39 to USD 133.43. The company had a market capitalization of USD 23.4 billion and volume of 1,091,687 shares on that date.

PPG makes paints, coatings and specialty materials for aerospace, automotive, construction, industrial, marine and packaging customers, according to PPG. For investors, the October results will put the recent revenue increase and the USD 7.70 to USD 8.10 full-year EPS range against the stock's position below its 52-week high.
