8:40 pm 19 January 2023

Procter & Gamble (PG.US) stock is trading 1.0% lower after the consumer goods giant posted mixed quarterly results in Q2 2023. 

  • Company earned $1.59, which came in line with expectations, 

  • Net income dropped to $3.93 billion, or $1.59 a share YoY, from $4.22 billion, or $1.66 a share.

  • Revenue dropped 1% YoY to $20.77 billion, slightly above analysts’ estimates of $20.73 billion. It was the first year-over-year decline since Q2 2017. 

  • Organic sales jumped 5% as higher than expected price increases of 10%, offset a 6% decline in shipment volumes.

  • For the current year, P&G lifted its revenue outlook to down 1% to flat from down 3% to down 1% and affirmed EPS growth outlook of flat to up 4%, which may mean the expected higher sales will not provide enough boost to the bottom line.
