Procter & Gamble Company (The)

Colgate-Palmolive Company’s CL innovation strategy for 2025 is tightly linked to its ambition to boost market share despite ongoing macroeconomic and category growth challenges. The company is leaning heavily into impactful innovation as a key building block for long-term growth, pairing it with data analytics, AI and omni-channel demand generation to accelerate its 2030 strategic plan. Across regions, Colgate is introducing core and premium products that not only strengthen brand health but also expand household penetration. For instance, in oral care, launches like Colgate Max White Clinical in the U.K. and Miracle Repair serum-infused toothpaste in China are being positioned at strategic price points to attract new users while reinforcing the company’s premium credentials.
This innovation drive is not limited to oral care but extends across personal and home care as well as Hill’s Pet Nutrition. In Europe, personal care offerings like Sanex Skin Therapy with Amino Acid Complex are addressing specific skin needs, while in Latin America, relaunches of the Protex bar soap and Suavitel Superior Care fabric conditioner are designed to strengthen category leadership. In Hill’s Pet Nutrition segment, science-led innovations, such as ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit in Science Diet and new Prescription Diet formulas, target niche therapeutic needs, appealing to veterinarians and pet owners seeking specialized nutrition solutions.
Colgate’s approach is also rooted in premiumization, elevating its product mix to capture higher-margin sales while differentiating from value-tier competitors. Brands like Colgate Total, Luminous White, Sensitive Pro Relief and elmex are leading premium growth, particularly in markets like Latin America and Europe, where consumers continue to trade up for performance and specialized benefits. These premium launches are supported by robust advertising investment, which remains over 13% of net sales, reinforcing consumer awareness and trust at a time when competitive activity is intense.
Looking ahead, the company’s 2025 guidance acknowledges weaker category growth in the first half and potential headwinds from raw material inflation. However, management expects the combination of innovation-led volume gains, targeted pricing strategies and productivity-driven reinvestment to help offset these pressures. If executed effectively, Colgate’s innovation pipeline, spanning oral care breakthroughs, personal and home care upgrades, and advanced pet nutrition, could serve as the primary catalyst for market share gains in 2025, solidifying its competitive positioning in both mature and emerging markets.
CL’s Competition in the Global Arena
Church & Dwight Co. Inc. CHD, The Procter & Gamble Company PG and The Clorox Company CLX are key companies competing with Colgate in theglobal market
Church & Dwight is driving growth through innovation in both premium and value segments, highlighted by the Touchland acquisition in hand sanitizers, Batiste Light in dry shampoo, the Therabreath mouthwash expansion, and HERO’s Mighty Patch Body launch. These initiatives, along with rising online sales, aim to boost household penetration and brand share despite category and retailer headwinds for Church & Dwight.
Procter & Gamble is leveraging its “irresistible superiority” strategy with launches like Tide evo plastic-free detergent, Swiffer Sweep and Mop Deluxe, Pampers premium upgrades, and SK-II’s LXP line. Digital-first marketing and a strong track record in top new product rankings underpin Procter & Gamble’s ability to grow categories and outpace competitors.
Clorox is advancing innovation across its portfolio to support long-term growth, focusing on value-driven offerings and sustainability. In cleaning, the company is rolling out bleach innovations with enhanced disinfection claims while expanding Burt’s Bees into new lip and skin care formats. Clorox is also innovating in Glad trash bags with stronger, more sustainable materials and launching Brita products with improved filtration performance. These initiatives aim to strengthen brand relevance, capture new users and reinforce category leadership amid a competitive and cost-sensitive environment.

Will Colgate's Innovation Drive Market Share Gains in 2025?

Investors in Procter & Gamble Company (Symbol: PG) saw new options begin trading today, for the April 2026 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 246 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the PG options chain for the new April 2026 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $115.00 strike price has a current bid of 86 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $115.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $114.14 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of PG, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $154.31/share today.
Because the $115.00 strike represents an approximate 25% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 93%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.75% return on the cash commitment, or 1.11% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Procter & Gamble Company, and highlighting in green where the $115.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $160.00 strike price has a current bid of $7.40. If an investor was to purchase shares of PG stock at the current price level of $154.31/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $160.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 8.48% if the stock gets called away at the April 2026 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if PG shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Procter & Gamble Company, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing PG's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $160.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $160.00 strike represents an approximate 4% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 53%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 4.80% boost of extra return to the investor, or 7.12% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 27%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 19%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $154.31) to be 19%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Key Points
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7% versus a year ago.
PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble have raised revenue via price increases.
Have consumers grown weary of higher prices?
The U.S. Department of Labor released its June inflation reading recently. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a 2.7% year-over-year increase. The figure includes volatile food and energy prices.
Consumer staple companies should have an edge during an inflationary environment. That's because they sell basic necessities like food, beverages, and everyday items. These types of companies should have the ability to pass along cost increases to their customers.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
However, people seem wary about further price increases, since inflation has been running high for some time. How have these two consumer staple companies been faring?
1. PepsiCo
PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) sells beverages, snacks, and convenience foods. It produces these products under well-known brands like Pepsi-Cola, Gatorade, Doritos, and Quaker.
Nonetheless, despite these products' long-standing popularity, people seem tired of paying higher prices given elevated overall inflation. You can see that by looking at PepsiCo's results, which have seen sluggish volumes in the face of price increases.
The company's second-quarter revenue, adjusted to remove foreign-currency translation effects and the effect of acquisitions/divestitures, rose a tepid 2%. This was due entirely to higher prices, which contributed 4 percentage points. Meanwhile, lower volume subtracted about 1.5 percentage points.
The price hikes weren't sufficient to offset higher costs, however. PepsiCo's adjusted operating income fell 3%.
Investors haven't been too pleased with the company's results. PepsiCo's share price has dropped 16.9% over the last year through July 28. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index gained 16.8% during this time.
When inflation abates and PepsiCo can hold the line on prices, volume and sales growth should increase. That will likely boost profitability. Investors perhaps see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The valuation has become more expensive over the last month, with the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio increasing from 19 to 26. Still, that's cheaper than the S&P 500's P/E multiple of 30. Given the valuation and prospects for better results down the line, patient investors may find themselves rewarded.
2. Procter & Gamble
Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) sells items that people use every day. These include shampoo, deodorant, razor blades, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, and diapers. It sells these products under popular brands like Head & Shoulders, Old Spice, Gillette, Crest, Tide, and Pampers.
These basic items should be fairly impervious to price increases. After all, people will still use them no matter what's going on with their personal finances.
Nonetheless, consumers have been shying away from its products. Procter & Gamble's fiscal third-quarter adjusted sales grew a scant 1%. Higher prices accounted for the entire increase, with volumes flat versus a year ago. The company's earnings per share increased 1%. The period ended on March 31.
It was a similar story in the recently reported fourth quarter. Procter & Gamble's adjusted sales increased 2%, with higher prices and mix each adding 1 percentage point. Volume was constant compared to last year. Management expects a range of 0% to 4% sales growth this year.
Procter & Gamble's stock price has dropped 7.9% over the last year. The share's P/E multiple has contracted from 28 to less than 25 during this time.
Despite the better valuation, I'd hold off on purchasing the stock. Given the type of products it sells, I'd expect Procter & Gamble to have performed better during an inflationary environment.

The Motley Fool's Just-Released Report Shows U.S. Inflation Is at 2.7%. Here's How 2 Consumer Goods Staples Are Faring.

Procter & Gamble (PG) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.43 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.4 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.50%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this world's largest consumer products maker would post earnings of $1.54 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.54, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
P&G, which belongs to the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry, posted revenues of $20.89 billion for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.39%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $20.53 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
P&G shares have lost about 6.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.6%.
What's Next for P&G?
While P&G has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for P&G was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.93 on $22.2 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.02 on $86.54 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Consumer Products - Staples is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Leslie's, Inc. (LESL), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 6.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.35 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +2.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Leslie's, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $563.74 million, down 1% from the year-ago quarter.

Key Points
Coca-Cola has a long growth runway in a fragmented global beverages market.
Genuine Parts will thrive for as long as people need to service and maintain their vehicles.
Procter & Gamble dominates the household products segment with its diverse portfolio of renowned brands.
Passive income could be the easiest money you'll earn in life. When your investments pay you to own them, you are literally building wealth while you sleep.
Dividend stocks are potentially the best way to generate passive income. There is a vast ocean of dividend stocks to choose from; the best companies can continually cut bigger checks to their shareholders. Among the cream of the crop, a tiny sliver -- just 55 U.S. companies -- currently have Dividend King status, which only comes with at least 50 consecutive annual dividend increases.

Past accomplishments alone don't guarantee that these companies will continue to grow forever.
Still, these three Dividend Kings appear to have timeless business models and are rock-solid companies that investors can confidently buy and hold for the long term.
1. A Warren Buffett favorite that has led its industry for generations
Dividend growth streak: 62 years
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) gets things off to a strong start as a proven winner with a world-famous brand and a straightforward business model that everyone, from Warren Buffett to individual investors, can appreciate. Coca-Cola is a massive beverage conglomerate that sells dozens of brands of soda, juice, tea, coffee, water, and other beverages to consumers worldwide.
The company's growth blueprint is simple. There are over eight billion people worldwide, and every single person is a potential customer. The global beverage market is fragmented, so Coca-Cola enjoys several advantages as the largest player, primarily due to its superior distribution, lower costs, and deep pockets for research and development of new products, as well as the ability to acquire rising brands when they become popular enough to capture Coca-Cola's attention.
Coca-Cola can consistently deliver low-to-mid-single-digit growth, and management increases the dividend at a similar pace. Investors can buy Coca-Cola and get just under a 3% yield today. It's a timeless business with steady growth ahead, so consider buying the stock, setting up dividend reinvestment, and letting those dividends compound into some serious wealth over a couple of decades.
2. An under-the-radar winner with rock-solid stability
Dividend growth streak: 68 years
Most consumers may not be familiar with Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) but may know NAPA, the automotive parts store it's most famous for in the United States. Genuine Parts operates a handful of distribution and store brands that sell automotive and industrial parts and components. Collectively, Genuine Parts has over 10,700 locations worldwide, including distribution centers, service centers, and retail stores.
The technology in vehicles has changed over time, but the need for repairs and maintenance is a steady constant. The business can fluctuate with the economy, but management has consistently demonstrated its ability to navigate the ups and downs. Genuine Parts has increased its dividend by an average of approximately 5% annually over the past decade; it's likely a reasonable expectation for future growth.
The stock yields 3.1%, potentially giving investors total annualized returns in the 8% range. That won't make you rich very quickly, but the peace of mind and steady dividend raises the stock offers make Genuine Parts a solid choice for any investor not interested in the fuss and muss of flashier or more complex businesses.
3. A consumer products legend with renowned brand power
Dividend growth streak: 69 years
Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) is almost certainly in your local store. You'll find its name on the labels of household staples, including Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Old Spice, Swiffer, Cascade, Dawn, and more. There is nothing especially unique about cleaning, paper, or basic hygiene products. Instead, the advantages come in the form of brand value and recognition, and Procter & Gamble's appeal gives its products access to the best shelf space in stores.
Consumers tend to use these types of products in good and bad times, making Procter & Gamble a recession-proof business and contributing to its ability to raise the dividend every year, like clockwork, for nearly seven decades. Like the other stocks on this list, slow and steady is the path forward. The company has raised its dividend by an average of just under 5% annually over the past decade.
Investors can start with a solid dividend yield of nearly 2.7% at Procter & Gamble's current share price. And like they can with the others, investors can reinvest the steadily rising dividend to maximize the stock's long-term investment potential. Procter & Gamble has long been a global giant in consumer products, and there's no reason why the company won't still be here decades from now.
