Context and risks
PPG is an industrial chemical company with exposure to the construction and automotive cycle, but its coatings business has a defensive component. The main risk is exposure to the supply chain and industrial demand, not a direct regulatory or geopolitical risk. A slight adjustment is applied for the cyclical nature of the chemical sector and sensitivity to global industrial demand.
