What the chart shows
Procter & Gamble does not usually outshine the tech sector, but Thursday was different. Its shares rose while chipmakers slid, after revenue for the July-to-September quarter reached US$23.3 billion, 4% more than the US$22.4 billion of a year earlier.
Seen across the years since 2017, when the same quarter brought in US$16.7 billion, the growth has been steady, with a small dip in 2024. This time it came mostly from selling more packs rather than charging more for them.
The open question is oil. P&G's cost estimate for the year rests on a Brent price well under where crude now trades, and its chief financial officer has said the hit grows if oil stays where it is.
