What the numbers say

PPG Industries is a specialty chemicals name in the materials sector. Over the past year it returned +5.3%, against +12.7% over three months and -0.9% over one. It sits just 4.5% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 30.4% is above the market's typical range.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -25.7%, and it has traded a median $203M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.45 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
