P&G beats on earnings, warns of $1 billion tariff hit

Procter & Gamble (PG) is taking a cautious approach to the next twelve months as it navigates uncertain consumers and Trump tariffs. The company said Tuesday it will see a $1 billion hit to profits in its new fiscal year as a result of tariffs. It offered mix EPS guidance as a result, with the bottom end of the range below analyst forecasts. Shares rose slightly in pre-market trading as fourth fiscal quarter results beat estimates. P&G's earnings are being overshadowed by a surprise change atop the C-suite ahead of the results. The consumer products giant announced late Monday that Shailesh Jejurikar will succeed CEO Jon Moeller on Jan. 1, 2026. Jejurikar is currently the company's COO but has been with P&G since 1989. He has helped lead some of P&G's most important businesses around the world, notably a fabric care business led by the Tide brand. Moeller has been the CEO of P&G since November 2021. He has been with the company since 1988, holding positions such as COO and CFO before landing the top job from David Taylor. Moeller will assume the position of executive chairman of P&G. "We are not surprised as we believe Mr. Jejurikar's was the natural successor to CEO Moeller after his appointment to the COO position in October of 2021. We also think Jejurikar's experience in both developed markets and emerging market and as the CEO of global fabric care and home care gives him enough experience to lead P&G," said JP Morgan analyst Andrea Teixeira.
