The company managed to surpass earnings estimates however its revenue fell short of expectations indicating the struggles in consumer spending trends.

Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.54 which slightly exceeded the anticipated $1.53 mark but the quarterly revenue stood at $19.78 billion as opposed to the expected $20.20 billion projected by analysts. Certain key sectors like Beauty, Grooming, Fabric & Home Care, and Baby Feminine & Family Care recorded decreases in sales figures while Health Care remained stable without showing any surprises.

Following the earnings report P&G scaled back its sales forecast to predict flat sales instead of the previously anticipated 2%–4% growth. The projection for core EPS growth was also adjusted downward to a range of 2%–4% down from the target of 6%.

Stock prices have dropped slightly by more than 1% since the beginning of the year.
