  12. PPG Segments Overview
  13. Why sell PPG? Very high return since its purchase: 210.32% since 4/8/2010 (S&P 500 return in the same time: 58.31%). Sell PPG to secure these gains. Morningstar
  14. Why sell PPG? (cont) Exposure to the risk of raw materials inflation. Titanium dioxide purchases are 70% to 80% of the cost of goods sold of the coatings business (93% of the total revenues of PPG in 2013). Only one large supplier, Henan Billions. Architectural coatings business (29% of revenues) weaker than other coatings businesses, despite the construction market recovery. Due to fewer competitive advantages, based on technological leadership and not on prices. Transitions optical business separation, which was very profitable, and had excellent margins (29.2% versus 15.5% for the whole company)
  15. However, PPG has some strengths Current PPG’s portfolio shift. Focus on coating activity (2004: 56%, 2014: 93%). Strong acquiring activity, and a lot of divestitures. Coatings manufacturing industry benefits from many positive points. Low capital intensive and consolidating industry. High growth potential. Results improved in the long run. 25% of the firm's sales are from emerging regions. It will drive growth, because the western regions expand at a slower rate. High return of cash to shareholders ($1.35 billion in 2013), through shares repurchases and dividends.
