About
Corteva, Inc. is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based agricultural science company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CTVA) as an S&P 500 Materials component — developing and selling seeds (Pioneer brand corn, soybean, sunflower, and vegetable seeds) and crop protection products (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides under Enlist, Instinct, Zorvec, and other brands) to farmers across 140 countries through approximately 22,000 employees. Corteva was spun off from DowDuPont in June 2019 as the agricultural science component of the DowDuPont three-way breakup (materials science → Dow Inc., specialty products → DuPont de Nemours, agriculture → Corteva), combining the Pioneer Hi-Bred seed genetics legacy (acquired by DuPont in 1999 for $9.4 billion) with the Dow AgroSciences crop protection portfolio. In fiscal year 2024, Corteva reported revenues of $17.2 billion, with the Seed segment (corn, soybean, and specialty crop seeds) generating $9.3 billion and the Crop Protection segment (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides) generating $7.9 billion — though crop protection faced market headwinds from generic agrochemical price competition and grower inventory destocking as global commodity crop prices fell from 2022-2023 peaks. CEO Chuck Magro's strategy focuses on driving pricing power through genetic trait performance (Corteva's Qrome corn trait technology delivering 5-10 bushel/acre yield advantage driving premium seed pricing) and the Enlist weed control system (herbicide-tolerant soybeans paired with Enlist Duo herbicide through a closed IP system that bundles herbicide and trait royalty revenue).
Pittsburgh global coatings leader (NYSE: PPG) at $15.8B 2024 sales; divested Glidden/Pittsburgh Paints to American Industrial Partners ($550M, late 2024) focusing on automotive/aerospace competing with Sherwin-Williams for industrial coatings.
About
PPG Industries, Inc. is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based global paints, coatings, and specialty materials company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PPG) as an S&P 500 component — operating as the world's second-largest coatings company by revenue with $15.8 billion in 2024 net sales and approximately 46,000 employees across 70+ countries. Founded in 1883 as Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, PPG evolved from glass manufacturing to coatings, completing a strategic refocusing in late 2024 by divesting its US and Canadian architectural coatings business (brands: Glidden, Olympic, Pittsburgh Paints & Stains, Liquid Nails) to American Industrial Partners for $550 million — enabling PPG to concentrate on industrial, automotive OEM and refinish, aerospace, packaging, and protective coatings where it holds stronger competitive moats. PPG invested $300 million in advanced North American automotive coatings manufacturing capacity for 2024-2028. In 2024, sustainably-advantaged products comprised 41% of sales (targeting 50% by 2030) and adjusted EPS grew 6%. PPG has paid uninterrupted annual dividends since 1899.
