Sentiment · FY2026 Q4
On July 29, 2026, Procter & Gamble announced that Shailesh Jejurikar, President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Chairman of the Board effective August 1, 2026, holding the role in addition to his existing position. Executive Chairman Jon Moeller will retire from the board effective July 31, 2026, and from the company effective August 14, 2026, after 38 years of service that included the Executive Chairman, CEO, COO, and CFO roles.
Procter & Gamble delivered Q3 FY26 with organic sales increasing more than 3% and core EPS of $1.59, up 3% on a currency-neutral basis. Broad-based organic sales acceleration reflected innovation-driven volume recovery. China grew in a challenging market. Middle East conflict costs created headwinds, compressing core gross margin by 100 basis points and operating margin by 80 basis points. FY2026 guidance was maintained at in-line to +4% for organic sales and core EPS, with management expecting the lower end due to geopolitical costs.
