For our Fourth Annual Paints survey we spoke with the largest hardware paint sellers.The mood among sellers was more somber than in previous years.Prices were up 0-2% on average despite a significant rise in raw materials.Maintain a Buy on PPG, and Hold on VAL and ROH.

  • PPG
    P P G Ind
  • $58.80
  • +0.26%
  • $58.61

We like their portfolio restructuring, higher free cash flow yield, and greater exposure to more robust international markets.Survey results show weak pricing at big boxes.Although they sell trhough Lowe's,it has also 450 of its own stores where it can better control prices.

  • VAL
    Valspar Corp
  • $26.92
  • +0.71%
  • $26.56

We maintain a Hold given their large exposure to a single customer, Lowe's.

People owning VAL also tend to own: AAUKACASAGDAGOBTICOPCOST

The company has set a goal of obtaining 35% of revenues from emerging markets by 2010.According to the most recent quarter, they stand at 21%, so reaching 35% in three years will be a challenge.

People owning ROH also tend to own: BLSGLWHOTMRBKPNCQCOMSBUX
