PPG announced that first quarter 2026 earnings per diluted share (EPS) is $1.70 and adjusted EPS is $1.83, an increase of 6% over the first quarter 2025.

“I am pleased that we have delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth, with positive selling prices and flat sales volumes,” said Tim Knavish, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. “Strong performance in our differentiated architectural coatings Latin America and aerospace businesses coupled with the execution of our self-help actions drove segment EBITDA margin above our original expectations.”

In addition, the company indicated it expects both second quarter organic sales and adjusted earnings per share in the range of flat to low single-digit percentage growth versus the respective prior year period. 

The company will announce detailed first quarter 2026 financial results on April 28, 2026, after U.S. stock markets close. The company plans to hold an earnings teleconference on April 29, 2026 at 8 a.m. ET., during which it will provide more comprehensive updates and financial projections.
