Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for PPG Industries (PPG - Free Report) . Shares have added about 5.5% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is PPG Industries due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for PPG Industries, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
PPG Industries reported a second-quarter 2025 profit of $450 million or $1.98 per share, down from $493 million or $2.09 per share in the year-ago quarter.
In the second quarter, excluding one-time items, adjusted earnings per share decreased to $2.22 from $2.35 in the year-ago quarter, meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The company’s revenues were roughly $4.19 billion in the quarter, down 1% year over year. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.13 billion.
Segment Review
In the second quarter, the Global Architectural Coatings segment saw a 5% year-over-year decline in sales to $1.02 billion. It topped our estimate of $1 billion. 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 $1.51 billion. It beat our estimate of $1.44 billion. 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 $1.67 billion. It topped our estimate of $1.63 billion. The segment's net sales fell owing primarily to the divestiture of the silicas products business in late 2024.
Financials
The company had $1.56 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the quarter. Net debt was $5.7 billion, up $479 million from the prior-year quarter.
Outlook
The company maintained its full-year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance of $7.75 to $8.05. This outlook is backed by continued share gains and internal improvement initiatives, while factoring in current global economic conditions, currency exchange rates and varied demand trends across its regions and business segments.
