PPG Industries, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the second quarter, the Global Architectural Coatings segment saw a 5% year-over-year decline in sales to $1,018 million. It topped our estimate of $1,002.6 million. The downside is caused by the divestiture of the company’s architectural coatings business in Russia and lower sales volumes. This was partly offset by higher selling prices.
The Performance Coatings segment saw a 7% year-over-year rise in sales to $1,512 million. It beat our estimate of $1,439.3 million. The segment achieved record quarterly revenues and earnings, owing to a 6% increase in organic sales, as well as increases in selling prices and volume.
For the Industrial Coatings segment, sales declined 5% year over year to $1,665 million. It topped our estimate of $1,632.2 million. The segment's net sales fell owing primarily to the divestiture of the silicas products business in late 2024.
