PPG's financials show inconsistent growth, with minimal revenue gains and declining gross margins over the past decade. Dividend history is strong, but recent growth has slowed; payout ratio improvement is a positive for shareholders. Q1 2025 earnings were mixed: Performance Coatings grew, but other segments declined due to currency headwinds and divestitures.
