How will this affect the company?Andrew HockeyPPG – You’ve stated that M&A activity has been a key driver for the growth of PPG. Are they borrowing money for these acquisitions? If so, will a rate hike have a significant effect on the firm’s value, and therefore it’s performance?Jordan FuentesPPG: Your target price is below the current price, why not sell and take profits, what’s up with the recommendation?Christian LANGPPG Industries (PPG)You mentioned in your report that one of the cons of holding the PPG stocks would be the “risky” situation in Europe with the expected recession for 2015.

Also an increase in interest rates is a sign for a strong economy and thus might put more trust into the U.S. economy. Could the U.S. stock market be seen a safer market to invest compared to the European economy that is according to the report going into a recession. Would the U.S. stock market become more attractive to investors and maybe have growth opportunities even if interest rates rise?Stefanie StebeggPPG Industries (PPG)What is the reason that PPG is paying dividends since the last 42 years (starts with 1899) with an annual growth?

Taha MajbarPPG industries: The company has been in a growing trend since 2008, why do you believe that we should hold and that the company will not climb higher ?

Gabriel AragonPPG Industries: Is this repurchasing of stocks going to be good or bad for PPG?Jeffrey AlbertiPPG Industries:Is there some defining characteristic about PPG’s business operations that make them highly susceptible to the variations in the strength of the US dollar relative to other currencies, or do they just experience the same risk that any company does in this regard?John Kapuranis8.
