UPDATE: JPMorgan Downgrades PPG Industries (PPG) to Neutral

JPMorgan analyst Jeffrey J. Zekaukas downgraded PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) from Overweight to Neutral with a price target of $165.00.

The analyst comments "We lower our rating on PPG from Overweight to Neutral based on valuation. The PPG share price is now at our target level of $165 compared to $143 at the end of September. We think there is now a relatively low level of capital appreciation to be captured from the current share price. Shorter-term headwinds are larger. Paint prices are more likely to offset raw material inflation sometime in 1H:22 rather than at year-end 2021. PPG is contending with sharply lower volumes in the OEM auto sector, and to a lesser degree in the architectural paint business due to raw material supply shortages."
