- To justify today's price, PPG's free cash flow would need to grow about 9.1% a year for ten years (a reverse discounted cash flow). Over the last three years it actually grew 37.7% a year.
- PPG trades at 17.9 times its last year's earnings, against a median of 28.2 for 26 profitable Specialty Chemicals companies.
- Over the past year the price sat below the model fair value on 100% of trading days. The gap ranged from 34% below to 10% below the model fair value.

## Read this before relying on it

The model fair value is an estimate from published financial statements. It is not a forecast of where the price goes, and it can be wrong. Within 10% either side we call it close to fair value: valuation models are not precise enough to read more into a smaller gap.
