Procter & Gamble (US7427181091) stock traded at $144.77 after the company said on July 29, 2026 that adjusted EPS was $1.43 and quarterly revenue reached $21.20 billion. The latest quarter also showed revenue up 1.5% from a year earlier, while analysts had expected $1.41 a share and $21.38 billion in sales.
Latest quarter
The quarter gave investors three clear markers: EPS of $1.43, revenue of $21.20 billion and a net margin of 18.44%. The comparison matters too, because EPS was $1.48 in the same period a year earlier.
Market data also points to a steady valuation profile. The company carried a market capitalization of $336.51 billion and a P/E ratio of 21.87, while the stock opened at $144.77 and sat below a 1-year high of $167.25.
Guidance and consensus
Management set FY 2027 guidance at 6.890-7.110 EPS, giving the stock a second reference point after the July report. That range sits above the current-year analyst view of 6.98 EPS, a narrow gap that keeps the forward debate centered on execution rather than scale.
Return on equity of 31.36% and revenue growth of 1.5% show a mature consumer staples business that is still producing high profitability. For investors, the mix of a 21.87 multiple, $336.51 billion market value and guidance for 6.890-7.110 EPS is the key frame.
Brand mix
Gillette remains one of the best-known names in the portfolio and helps explain why the company can keep pricing power in a slow-growth category. Oral-B, Pampers and Tide are part of the same portfolio, but Gillette is still a useful shorthand for the company’s grooming business.
Share level
The shares changed hands at $144.77 in the most recent quote available here, versus a 52-week range of $137.62 to $167.25. That leaves the stock in the middle of its yearly band, not far from the 50-day average of $147.73 and the 200-day average of $148.69.
