Procter & Gamble: Valuation Update and Growth Outlook

Procter & Gamble (PG) reported solid Q3 FY24 results, showing organic revenue growth and core EPS growth. I am confident in their volume recovery in the near future as inflation moderates. Their FY24 outlook includes 4%-5% organic revenue growth and 10%-11% core EPS growth. However, headwinds in Greater China, particularly in cosmetics, could impact FY25 growth. I believe P&G will achieve a balanced growth between volume and price in FY25, driven by falling commodity prices. The stock’s current valuation remains attractive, and I reiterate a ‘Buy’ rating with a fair value of $175 per share.
