Raw materials are likely a1-3% cost headwind in 2025 (or $0.15-$0.50/share). If tariffs move higher-for-longer, which remainsa key risk, we expect some auto OEM supply chains will re-route with intensified order choppiness.If tariffs begin substantially weighing on PPG's auto OEM customers, the company can reduce paintoutput and staffing before it idles entire auto OEM paint lines. Potential offsets include the rawmaterial tailwind implied by lower oil prices, higher Chinese stimulus, improving EU demand, potentialFX tailwinds from a weaker USD, higher infrastructure spend, and greater localization of productionand supply chains.Outperforming Weak Auto End-Markets:PPG likely outperforms auto OEM markets more sharplystarting in 3Q25 on already won share gains and regional mix (outperformance in Asia). PPGexpects to broadly outperform refinish coatings end-markets on share gains, product differentiation,and expanding into other adjacencies. Relative to peers, PPG employs the most digital tools, likeLINQ subscriptions and Moonwalk installations, which raise store-level productivity by ~15% whileincreasing customer connectivity. The company's distribution from warehouses to collision centersis also a relative area of strength, and products, like Clearcoat, dry faster at lower temperatures, andrequire less energy.FCF & Capital Structure:1/ We estimate $1.3bn in post-dividend FCF in 2025, and $3.7bncumulatively th
