PPG stock holds after a $4.5 billion quarter
Published on 09/01/2026 at 10:31 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
PPG Industries (US6935061076) is holding near $114 after reporting $4.50 billion in quarterly revenue and $2.23 in adjusted EPS, while FY 2026 guidance points to $7.70 to $8.10 a share. The update also put the stock at $114.06 on August 28, 2026, with a market cap of $25.36 billion and a 52-week range of $93.39 to $133.43.
Quarterly mix
Revenue rose 7.2% from the prior year quarter, while EPS was $2.23 versus $2.25 expected. Net income came in at $437 million, and the company cited a 9.57% net margin and 21.07% return on equity.
The guidance midpoint is $7.90 per share, slightly above the current analyst figure of $7.88. That spread is small, but it shows management and the street are still clustered close to the same full-year view.
Guidance and peers
The same coverage track shows a Hold consensus and a $126.00 average target. The stock's $114.06 quote sits below that level, while the 2026 guidance range leaves room for the next earnings print on October 27, 2026.
PPG also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.74 a share, or $2.96 annualized, for a 2.6% yield. For investors, the dividend and the guidance band now matter as much as the headline revenue beat.
Marine coatings push
PPG introduced the ONE RANGE portfolio of five one-component marine coatings at the SMM 2026 trade fair in Hamburg, Germany. The product line is designed to simplify onboard maintenance with ready-to-use coatings and a portable PowerPack tool.
That launch matters because it gives PPG a concrete product story in protective and marine coatings, one of the company's long-running performance segments. It also ties product simplification to a real commercial setting rather than a general brand message.
Stock level
PPG shares traded between $112.82 and $116.23 in the session cited for August 28, 2026. The stock has also posted an 11.15% YTD return as of August 31, 2026, after starting the year at $102.36.
