Procter & Gamble First Quarter 2025 Earnings: Misses Expectations

P&G's revenue and earnings fell short of analysts' expectations in the first quarter of 2025.

The company reported revenue of $20.5 billion, down 1% from the same period last year. Net income fell 9% to $4.2 billion, or $1.10 per share. Analysts had expected P&G to report revenue of $20.7 billion and earnings of $1.13 per share.

P&G said the decline in revenue was due to lower sales of its beauty and grooming products. The company also said it was hurt by the rising cost of commodities.

P&G CEO David Taylor said the company is facing a number of challenges, including the rising cost of commodities, the war in Ukraine, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, he said P&G is taking steps to address these challenges, including raising prices and cutting costs.

Despite the challenges, P&G remains a strong company with a loyal customer base.

The company has a portfolio of iconic brands, including Tide, Pampers, and Gillette. P&G also has a strong track record of innovation and it is constantly launching new products.

Analysts are mixed on P&G's prospects for the rest of the year. Some analysts believe that the company will be able to overcome the challenges it faces and continue to grow. Others are more cautious, pointing to the rising cost of commodities and the war in Ukraine as potential risks.

Overall, P&G's first quarter results were disappointing, but the company remains a strong long-term investment.
