Procter & Gamble (PG) News Today

Procter & Gamble (PG) is trading higher after fiscal Q1 results that beat expectations. Investors are rewarding the company for stronger-than-expected sales and EPS, driven by pricing, a favorable product mix and resilient demand in Beauty and Grooming — while also taking comfort from a reduced tariff hit.
