Some of these are well known, such as the simple moving average or the return on equity, others are bit more esoteric, like the hedge fund activity or the insider sentiment, and still others, like the blogger sentiment and news coverage, are only measured by TipRanks. Taken together, these disparate datapoints add up to an invaluable trove of information.The Smart Score is the distillation of this data, a single-digit score that tells you briefly whether a stock is likely to rise or fall in the coming months.

Pittsburgh-based PPG is the worlds largest supplier of paints, coatings, and other specialty finishing materials. PPG saw some 15 billion in net sales last year, but has seen a drop-off in revenues in 1H20 due to the economic downturn. Along with slipping sales and earnings, PPG shares have underperformed in the current cycle. All of this, however, does not change the fundamental strengths that PPG features. The companys net sales, even in the current environment, are nearly 50 higher than its largest competitor. Covering the stock for Deutsche Bank, analyst David Begleiter writes of PPG, We believe investor concerns are misplaced... while PPG does not expect DIY paint demand to be as strong in Q3 as it was in Q2, it should still be a strong Q3 and PPG is more than holding its own in this market. We would also note that the larger-than-expected temporary cost savings highlight the higher level of variable costs in PPGs cost structure a good thing versus the last recession.To this end, Begleiter rates PPG a Buy along with a 126 price target. This figure indicates a 13 growth potential from current levels. To watch Begleiters track record, click hereAll in all, PPGs Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 14 reviews, including 9 Buys and 5 Holds. The shares are selling for 111.66, and the average target price of 125.79 is in line with Begleiters, suggesting a one-year upside of 13.
