Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PG is a global leader in consumer staples with brands recognized in over 180 countries. Recent earnings showed a 200% increase in EPS and is expected to grow over 9% over the next five years -- a real steady Eddy. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a 57% payout ratio. We would buy this with a stop loss at $100, looking to achieve $152 -- upside potential over 14%. Yield 2.38% (Analysts’ price target is $151.44)

COMMENT

Reports Wednesday. For once, their numbers will be boosted by a strong US dollar, not pressured by a weak one. They move a ton of merchandise overseas.

BUY

There's a bull market in hygiene, given Covid. The PG CFO expects such clean habits to continue after the pandemic--hygiene won't go away. Consumer habits die hard.

HOLD

This sector has held up reasonably well during this downturn along with utilities. She would continue to hold it and likes the dividend it pays.

COMMENT

He owns Unilever for their global exposure. P&G beat earnings but their revenues were down. It's trading like a growth stock even though it isn't. They have been coming out with new products. There is progress in grooming products but their baby care has been struggling. He also doesn't like their compliance and ethics. They reward 10% of their float to their executives and not helping employees. They are also make polluting products like Pampers and Swiffers.

SELL

The stock, but also the PE has taken off after doing nothing for years. Good observation of the PE as well as stock price. PG are getting rid of their shaving business, which is a debacle with a huge write-down. Exit this, because what you expected to happen to this stock has already happened.

DON'T BUY

They keep innovating unlike peers like Kraft. Doesn't know the valuation, but it's a fine company. This will do well. But he'd rather buy Google, Facebook or Apple for more growth. PG will barely grow.

misc consumer products

PARTIAL SELL

They had a huge run in the last 18 months but it lagged the group for 4-5 years prior to that. It was because their products we selling to the higher end market. He is always in favour of re-weighting a stock when it has had a run-up.

misc consumer products

COMMENT

You're paying a rich price now. It's had a straight run-up since early-2018, but has been sideways for the last quarter. It may do well for the next 18 months, but likely not as well as the past 18 months.

misc consumer products

DON'T BUY

One of the headwinds is the trend toward generic products. Consumers aren't as interested in name brands. Only 3-5% growth of revenues and earnings. For a 25x multiple company, that's just not good enough. Investors have pushed the price up to extreme valuations for what the fundamentals support.

BUY on WEAKNESS

PG vs JNJ He'd choose PG. JNJ has lawsuits still hanging around. Since mid-summer of 2018, JNJ has underperformed PG. Watch out for valuations. PG is trading at 24x, with a 7% growth rate. PG is the largest consumer name out there and will continue to grow.
