On March 23, Mizuho lowered its price recommendation on PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) to $115 from $140. It reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares.

A day later, on March 24, the company introduced PPG InsightsNav, an analytics platform built to help shipowners and operators better manage seastock coatings data. Marine operators often work with scattered or limited historical data. That makes long-term planning and cost control harder than it should be.

PPG said the new platform organizes this information into a standardized, easy-to-use format. The data can also be updated as new inputs come in, which keeps the system relevant over time. The tool highlights areas where operators can improve purchasing decisions. That includes choosing ports more effectively and consolidating orders in a more strategic way. These adjustments, the company said, can lead to meaningful cost savings.

PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) manufactures and distributes paints, coatings, and specialty products. Its business is organized into Global Architectural Coatings, Performance Coatings, and Industrial Coatings segments.
