PG Continues to Beat EPS Estimates, but Growth Rate Slows
Procter & Gamble (PG) has impressed with its earnings despite facing strong sales and margin headwinds in the recent past. The company outperformed analysts’ estimates in the past 14 quarters with an average positive surprise of 4.3%, which is impressive. Focus on productivity and cost savings, a considerable decline in the effective tax rate, and share repurchases have helped the company to surpass analysts’ expectations.
