Procter & Gamble stock closed at USD 145.71 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, down 1.14 percent from the prior session. The latest quarterly figures cited by MarketBeat show an earnings beat alongside a revenue shortfall.
EPS beats while revenue trails
For the latest quarter, P&G reported EPS of USD 1.43, exceeding the USD 1.41 consensus estimate by USD 0.02, according to MarketBeat on September 19, 2026. Revenue reached USD 21.20 billion, up 1.5 percent from the same period a year earlier, but below the USD 21.38 billion estimate.
The comparison matters because the earnings result was positive on a per-share basis while sales conversion missed expectations by USD 0.18 billion. The figures point to a business still expanding its top line, but with demand and pricing execution carrying more weight than the headline EPS beat.
Analysts set a USD 161.55 target
MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from 23 research firms on September 19, 2026, with 13 buy ratings and 10 hold ratings. The average 12-month price target stood at USD 161.55, USD 15.84 above the September 24 closing price.
That target spread gives the market a clear reference point, but the latest revenue comparison remains the central operating test. P&G sells branded consumer products across beauty, grooming, health care, fabric and home care, and baby, feminine and family care, making quarterly sales growth a direct measure of demand across a broad portfolio.
Stock stays below its yearly high
The September 24 closing price of USD 145.71 was 12.9 percent below P&G's 52-week high of USD 167.25 and USD 8.09 above its 52-week low of USD 137.62. Its market capitalization was USD 346,383,114,210 as of September 24, 2026.
For investors, the numbers create a two-sided picture: earnings exceeded the quarterly estimate, while revenue missed the forecast and the stock remained below its yearly high. The next market test is whether sales growth can support the valuation implied by the analyst target.
