From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Tim Knavish said pricing actions fully offset companywide cost-of-goods-sold inflation, although index-based contracts delayed the benefit in Industrial Coatings.
  • Knavish said automotive refinish destocking was behind PPG, while aerospace demand supported capacity investments and a backlog near $300 million.
