As of July 9, 2026, PPA stock price declined to $175.45 with 85,397 million shares trading.

It has underperformed in the last 3 months, returning -0.4% vs +11.3% return in SPY. But in the last 2 weeks, PPA shares have fared better than the market returning +2.6% compared to SPY +2.4%.
PPA support price is $172.77 and resistance is $178.26 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that PPA shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
