Procter & Gamble (P&G) recently reported its quarterly results, beating analysts’ expectations. Despite a general lull in consumption, the company was able to increase its sales by three percent to $22.4 billion in the first quarter of the 2025/26 financial year. Adjusted for exchange rate effects and acquisitions and sales, growth was two percent. These numbers underscore P&G’s resilience in a challenging market environment.
A key factor in P&G’s success is its ability to raise prices by emphasizing the higher quality of its products compared to competitors. The company’s well-known brands include Gilette, Oral-B and Head&Shoulders. That strategy appears to be working, as profits rose by a fifth to nearly $4.8 billion.
In parallel to the positive business figures, P&G is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring program. The aim is to reduce costs and increase competitiveness. As part of this program, the company plans to cut 7,000 jobs and review its product portfolio. These measures are expected to cost up to $1.6 billion over the next two years.
The market reaction to the quarterly results was positive. In premarket trading on the New York Stock Exchange, P&G’s share price temporarily rose by 3.98 percent to $157. Observers see the results as evidence of the successful implementation of the company’s strategy and the ability to assert itself in a difficult economic environment.
