Is PPG overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, PPG's RSI(14) was 38.7, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, PPG has $1.61B in cash with $7.47B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow comes in at $1.10B, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 19.3% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 6.0% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $15.61B (2022) to $15.88B (2025).
As with any equity investment, PPG carries market risk, sector-specific risk, and company-specific risk that investors should evaluate in the context of their own portfolios. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing PPG.
