Cullen Enhanced Equity Income Fund Portfolio Manager | “PPG Industries (PPG) – Shares of PPG were purchased in the quarter. PPG is a leading global manufacturer of paints, coatings, and specialty materials serving diverse end markets, including aerospace, automotive, industrial, packaging, and construction. PPG represents an attractive investment opportunity due to its diversified revenue streams, strong innovation pipeline, and potential for earnings recovery. The company's focus on value-enhancing acquisitions, disciplined cost management, and exposure to high-growth end markets positions it well for long-term success. While macroeconomic headwinds persist, PPG's pricing power, cost control measures, and aerospace/industrial recovery provide earnings support. BSD Analysis: PPG is the defensive industrial compounder that is consistently undervalued for its perceived cyclicality, ignoring its massive, high-margin exposure to specialized, non-cyclical end markets. The core investment thesis is built on PPG's structural pricing power, which allows it to pass through raw material inflation and expand margins even during industrial slowdowns. Its double-digit growth in the crucial Aerospace Coatings and Packaging Coatings segments provides superior revenue visibility, insulating it from the soft architectural market. The company's relentless focus on portfolio simplification and the imminent, massive discount to its calculated intrinsic value (over 35% by some models) make it a classic deep-value play. PPG is a bet on the eventual multiple re-rating as accelerating unit volumes convert its pricing power directly into explosive earnings growth.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 16, 2025 | View Pitch |
