PPG Industries ( (PPG) ) has provided an update.
On April 28, 2026, PPG Industries announced that Jamie A. Beggs will become senior vice president and chief financial officer effective July 6, 2026, succeeding retiring CFO Vincent J. Morales on the same date. Beggs, 49, currently CFO of Avient Corporation and a director at International Paper, will receive an $800,000 base salary, a $350,000 signing bonus subject to clawback if she departs within a year, a $3.2 million RSU award vesting after three years, a prorated 2026 cash bonus target of $800,000, and additional long-term equity incentives and relocation benefits.
PPG disclosed that its recent purchases from Avient in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 were modest, conducted in the ordinary course of business and immaterial relative to each company’s revenue, underscoring limited related-party exposure despite Beggs’s prior role. The leadership transition signals continuity in PPG’s financial stewardship and an emphasis on long-term, performance-based compensation to align the new CFO’s interests with shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (PPG) stock is a Buy with a $134.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PPG Industries stock, see the PPG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PPG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PPG is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by mixed fundamentals in the provided financial statements—especially the flagged 2025 balance-sheet deterioration (negative equity) and weak/negative free cash flow—despite solid profitability. This is partially offset by supportive technical trend signals and a reasonable valuation, with the latest earnings call providing a cautiously positive outlook for improving momentum into the second half of 2026.
