PPG Industries (US6935061076) held near $114 after the company reported $4.50 billion in quarterly revenue, $2.23 in adjusted EPS, and FY 2026 guidance of $7.70 to $8.10 per share. The shares were last quoted at $114.06 on August 28, 2026, with a market value of $25.36 billion and a 52-week range of $93.39 to $133.43.
Quarter numbers set the tone
PPG said revenue rose 7.2% from the prior year quarter to $4.50 billion, while EPS slipped to $2.23 from $2.22 and missed the $2.25 consensus by $0.02. That mix matters because sales beat expectations while profit per share landed just below the estimate.
The same update put net income at $437 million and net margin at 9.57%, with return on equity at 21.07%. Analysts on the same coverage track currently point to $7.88 EPS for the full year, which sits inside management's $7.70 to $8.10 range.
Guidance still carries weight
The guidance range gives investors a simple reference point: the midpoint is $7.90 EPS, slightly above the analyst figure of $7.88. PPG also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.74 a share, equal to a $2.96 annualized payout and a 2.6% yield.
MarketBeat's stock page showed a consensus rating of Hold, a $126.00 price target, and a trailing P/E ratio of 16.34. That leaves the shares trading below the consensus target while still reflecting a premium to the broader market multiple cited on the same page.
Coatings and product mix
PPG's portfolio still centers on architectural coatings, automotive refinish products, industrial coatings, protective and marine coatings, and aerospace and defense coatings. The mix matters because it spreads demand across consumer, transportation, and industrial customers rather than relying on one end market.
Shares and valuation
PPG shares were last quoted at $114.06 on August 28, 2026, after moving between $112.82 and $116.23 in the session. The stock's 50-day range of $110.64 to $125.30 and 52-week span of $93.39 to $133.43 show a name that has stayed within a broad trading band even as earnings and guidance have reset the debate.
