Procter & Gamble (PG) has reported mixed financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025.
The consumer goods company whose products include Tide laundry detergent and Gillette razor blades announced earnings per share (EPS) of $1.88 U.S., which was ahead of the $1.86 U.S. expected on Wall Street.
However, revenue in the October to December quarter totaled $22.21 billion U.S., which was short of the $22.28 billion U.S. forecast among analysts. Sales were up 1% from a year ago.
Management said the company’s sales were negatively impacted by weak demand for its Gillette razor blades and Pampers diapers.
Procter & Gamble noted that its overall sales volume fell 1% in the quarter.
Like other consumer goods companies, Procter & Gamble has seen demand for its products fall as inflation-weary consumers search out deals and bargains.
The company’s baby, feminine and family care segment saw the biggest decline in demand during the quarter, with volumes falling 5% year-over-year.
Procter & Gamble’s beauty segment was the only division to report volume growth. It saw volumes increase 3% from a year earlier, fueled by strong demand for hair care products.
Management adjusted the company’s earnings outlook for 2026, saying they now expect earnings per share (EPS) growth of 1% to 6%, down from a previous forecast of 3% to 9%.
A previous sales outlook was reaffirmed by the company.
PG stock has declined 11% over the past 12 months to trade at $146.06 U.S. per share.
