Why Procter & Gamble’s 3Q18 Margins Disappointed Investors
Procter & Gamble (PG) continued to report sluggish margins in fiscal 3Q18. The company’s core gross margin fell 110 basis points to 49.4% in fiscal 3Q18 as lower pricing to drive volumes and increased cost pressure more than offset the benefits stemming from cost and productivity savings.

Consumer Staples Had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP)—a basket of 34 companies in the sector—lost almost 3% Thursday, largely caused by the 16% drop in tobacco giant Philip Morris (PM), after its cigarette shipments fell more than expected and its heated-tobacco product—an area with high expectations for rapid growth—was experiencing headwinds in key market Japan. The company cited higher commodities and transportation costs as the cause of narrower margins, and admitted sales growth "has been challenging in a very difficult market environment." These three companies collectively comprise approximately 25% of the consumer-staples sector, which helps explain why the Consumer Staples ETF dropped 4.1% last week. It's no secret that Amazon.com (AMZN) and Walmart (WMT) have essentially made the retail space an oligopoly, says Mike O’Rourke, chief market strategist of JonesTrading.
