MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Procter & Gamble
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Procter & Gamble:

  • Procter & Gamble recently recovered approximately $100 million in tariffs that were previously paid but subsequently ruled illegal, providing a direct financial benefit and reducing cost pressure on the company's bottom line.
  • The stock offers a defensive dividend yield of 3.00%, supported by a long record of annual dividend increases, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors seeking compounding returns over time.
  • Procter & Gamble reported earnings per share of $1.43 for the quarter ended July 29, 2026, which exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $1.41, demonstrating the company's ability to outperform market expectations.
  • With a current stock price of $147.69, the company trades at a P/E ratio of 22.31, which is considered reasonable given its stable revenue growth of 1.5% year-over-year and strong return on equity of 31.36%.
  • Institutional investors continue to show confidence in the stock, with several large funds increasing their holdings in the second quarter, such as Murphy Middleton Hinkle & Parker Inc. raising its stake by 70.4%.

Procter & Gamble
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Procter & Gamble for these reasons:

  • Procter & Gamble has formed a bearish death cross pattern on its stock chart, a technical indicator that suggests potential downward price momentum and weak consumer spending trends.
  • Insiders have been selling shares recently, with the Chief Accounting Officer selling 359 shares and other executives reducing their positions, which may signal a lack of confidence in near-term stock performance.
  • The company's revenue for the most recent quarter was $21.20 billion, which fell short of the consensus estimate of $21.38 billion, indicating potential challenges in meeting top-line growth expectations.
  • Procter & Gamble's Fabric & Home Care segment is showing mixed trends, with U.S. Home Care slipping despite improvements in Fabric Care, suggesting uneven performance across key product categories.
  • Several analysts have recently lowered their price targets for the stock, including HSBC reducing its objective from $182.00 to $149.00 and Bank of America cutting its target from $170.00 to $166.00, reflecting a more cautious outlook.
