PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG)
Basic Materials · Chemicals - Specialty · Data as of 2026-10-22
Bottom line
PPG is trading at a discount to its history, near its historical support zone, and recent volume suggests money flowing in. Historically, this combination has been a favourable starting point for further research. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Cheap against its own asset value (Green)
PPG is in a cyclical industry, where earnings swing with the economy, so we compare its price-to-book of 2.8× with its own typical level (4.5×). Note: its P/E (15×) is far below its mid-cycle norm (28×) — for cyclical companies that often means earnings are at a peak, not that the stock is cheap. Its current multiple sits around the 5th percentile of its own last five years — toward the low end of its own range.
Price zones — Near its historical support zone (Green)
At $113.09, the stock is close to the lower end of its recent range. Over the past year PPG has traded between $93.39 and $133.43; its historical support zone sits near $112.19 and resistance near $133.43. It is above both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled an uptrend.
52-week range $93.39–$133.43 · 50-day average $108.56 · 200-day average $112.19
Money flow — Money is flowing in (Green)
Recent trading in PPG shows more volume on rising days than falling days, a pattern often described as accumulation. Volume on up days has been about 1.2× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.

PPG paid $3.61 a share in dividends over the past year — 3.2% of today's price — and has raised it in each of the last five years. It also bought back shares: $790 million in fiscal 2025, about 3.3% of its market value.

一句话结论
PPG 相对自身历史处于折价水平，接近其历史支撑区，近期成交量显示资金正在流入。从历史来看，这样的组合是一个值得进一步研究的有利起点。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 相对自身资产价值偏低
PPG 所在的行业具有周期性，盈利会随经济起伏，因此我们把它 2.8× 的市净率与其自身惯常的水平（4.5×）作比较。需要注意：它的市盈率（15×）远低于其中周期的常态水平（28×）——对周期性公司来说，这往往意味着盈利正处在高点，而不是股票便宜。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 5 百分位——处于自身区间的偏低位置。
价格区间 — 接近其历史支撑区
目前价格为 $113.09，接近其近期区间的下沿。过去一年 PPG 的价格在 $93.39 到 $133.43 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $112.19 附近，阻力区在 $133.43 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线上方，这在历史上通常对应上升趋势。
资金流向 — 资金正在流入
PPG 近期上涨日的成交量高于下跌日，这种形态常被称为吸筹。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 1.2×。
股息与公司概况
PPG 过去一年每股派息 3.61 美元，相当于当前股价的 3.2%，过去五年每年都有上调。它也回购了股票：2025 财年回购 7.9亿美元，约占市值的 3.3%。
