Investors tend to ignore inflation rates because they’ve been low for years. We’ve only touched 3% annually once since the 2007-08 market crash, and the June reading was a paltry 1.6%.

PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) is a paints fiberglass specialist whose reach spans more than 70 countries, and in fact is the world’s largest coatings company.
