Key Takeaway

PPG’s current EV/EBITDA of 11.9x means that for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), the enterprise value—which includes debt and equity—is 11.9 times that amount; a lower multiple generally suggests a stock is cheaper relative to earnings.

Deep Analysis

This sits slightly above the sector median of 11.8x within Basic Materials, placing PPG in the 67th percentile among peers—meaning it is more expensive than about two-thirds of them. The trend over the last eight quarters has been stable, with a quarter-over-quarter increase of only 0.4% and year-over-year change not available for comparison. A stable multiple at a level only modestly above the sector median suggests limited near-term valuation risk but also no clear valuation opportunity from compression or expansion. This combination of a near-median multiple and a flat trend is consistent with a NEUTRAL verdict, as it neither signals a hidden bargain nor an excessive premium that would warrant a bearish stance.
