PPG Offsets Softening Demand and Rising Costs With Robust Pricing in Fourth Quarter
Narrow-moat PPG reported solid fourth-quarter results, where strong pricing gains were met with lower sales volume and continued inflationary pressure. While raw material availability continues to improve, raw material inflation has shown little sign of slowing. That said, management noted that selling price increases have almost offset raw material cost increases since over the last 2 years, which we think will provide an opportunity for margin expansion in 2023.
