PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) on Decifer

Decifer ranks PPG number 162 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 43% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 3% a year, profits grew 46% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a healthy share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders and its own insiders have been buying.
• Very strong returns around 43%, 46% profit growth, and insider buying stand out, but revenue expected to grow about 3% a year with no worldview role leaves little growth to own.
