“Given its solid competitive positions and consistency in earnings and cash flow, PPG has not sustainably traded at a discount to the market since 2008 – a period when it held substantial exposure to commodity chemicals and glass,”analyst Robert Koort wrote in a note.

“At 14x forward EPS, we find the market is ignoring its evolution into a near pure-play coatings producer (peers AXTA, RPM, SHW trade at 17x-20x forward EPS). Further, we are encouraged to see a return of volume growth in 3Q (+1.5% yoy) despite Europe disappointing,” Koort noted.

For 2017, Koort expects improved volumes (2 percent) and better pricing (1 percent), as raw material inflation provides incentive to raise prices after years of stagnant pricing.

As such, the analyst reiterated his Buy rating, but cut the price target to $111 (from $119).

At time of writing, shares of PPG were down 0.22 percent to $92.10.
