    PPG Industries earnings move into focus

    PPG Industries (PPG) just released third quarter and nine month 2026 results, reporting higher sales and slightly stronger earnings per share from continuing operations, while net income remained close to last year.

    Recent trading has picked up, with PPG Industries posting a 3.22% 1 day share price return and a 5.51% 30 day share price return. The 1 year total shareholder return of 10.54% contrasts with weaker 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns, suggesting improving momentum after a tougher multi year stretch as investors react to steady earnings and the affirmed dividend.

    PPG Industries now looks like a solid coatings franchise with steadier earnings and an affirmed dividend, yet the share price has only recently started to move. Is that recent rebound already fair value, or not yet?

    Most Popular Narrative: 10% Undervalued

    On Simply Wall St's most followed narrative, PPG Industries is assessed with a fair value of $126.29 against the latest close of $113.44. This frames the recent share price bounce as only a partial catch up to that estimated worth.

    PPG Industries is building out its aerospace and protective and marine coatings capacity, supported by a roughly US$300 million aerospace backlog and more than US$0.5 billion of related investments. This activity can support higher revenue and segment earnings as orders are fulfilled and converted into shipments.

    See why 43 investors see PPG Industries as 10% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $126.29 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, PPG Industries faces pressure from weaker automotive production in key regions and rising raw material costs, which could squeeze Industrial Coatings margins and unsettle this undervalued story.
