"PPG Industries (PPG) Is A Quandry," Says Jim Cramer

We recently published Jim Cramer Talked About These 14 Stocks & Discussed AI And Layoffs. PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) reported its third-quarter earnings earlier in the week, with its $4.08 billion revenue and $2.13 in EPS beating analyst estimates. However, full-year EPS guidance fell short of estimates. Cramer wondered why PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) was struggling as its peers were doing well:

“PPG is a quandry because some of the chemicals are starting to have good numbers. Dow had good numbers. And it’s kind of surprising to me that they can’t put together a couple of good quarters. They, they should. I don’t get it, I mean if Dow had good numbers, PPG should have good numbers. . . .that group is real. It’s the real economy. And we are distrustful of the good economy. . .but it does have aerospace, and aerospace is good. You listen to Kelly Ortberg. The orders are great. But if it’s real, I mean the big surprise this week was Sherwin-Williams doing well. I didn’t expect Sherwin-Williams to do well.”

While we acknowledge the potential of PPG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
