If you believe PPG can sustain its current margin profile while closing the growth and ROIC gap versus MMM, then PPG looks attractive on a relative valuation basis because it trades at far lower multiples despite acceptable quality and lower leverage.
PPG trades at a large discount to MMM on both earnings and sales multiples, but the gap is partly justified by MMM’s superior profitability and return profile. The implied price of $203.90 versus PPG’s current $110.52 suggests 84.5% upside on a simple P/E basis, yet MMM range and DCF range are much less supportive.
