The S&P 500 rose 1.21% over the same stretch, leaving the stock about 1.32 percentage points behind the index. Trading was choppy: Monday (Sep 21) dipped to $145.63 before recovering, Tuesday (Sep 22) pushed up to $148.25, Wednesday (Sep 23) touched $148.93, and Thursday (Sep 24) printed the week high at $149.20 before fading. Friday (Sep 25) opened lower at $145.33 and settled at $146.23, with a weekly range of 2.64%. ## Key Events This week’s company-specific news centred on three items. On Friday (Sep 25), Italy’s regulator said it was closing a probe into P&G’s hair removal devices after receiving ad commitments from the company. The same day, P&G confirmed it would webcast its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings discussion, with results due later in October. On Thursday (Sep 24), a scientific review identified 1% selenium sulfide and 1% zinc pyrithione in Head & Shoulders shampoos as the strongest evidence-based over-the-counter option for dandruff control. Earlier in the week, several reports also framed P&G alongside dividend-stock themes, including one that named it among steady dividend stocks worth holding even as oil prices pushed past $100 a barrel. ## Analyst Ratings Across 26 institutions covering Procter & Gamble, 7 rate it buy, 6 rate it overweight, 12 rate it hold, and 1 has no opinion. No firms assign an underweight or sell rating. The consensus recommendation is buy, with a consensus target of $160.61, about 9.83% above the current price of $146.23. Target prices range from $143.00 to $186.00, a $43 spread that points to meaningful disagreement. Within the household cleaning products industry, P&G ranks first among 12 companies. ## The Week Ahead The coming week offers a set of macro readings plus the run-up to P&G’s earnings. Monday (Sep 28) brings the Dallas Fed manufacturing activity index, previously at 11.6. Tuesday (Sep 29) is heavier: FHFA house prices, the Case Shiller 20-city index, JOLTS job openings, and consumer confidence all land on the same day. The most direct company event is P&G’s fiscal Q1 2027 earnings release on Oct 22, where the street is looking for EPS of $1.86 on revenue of $22.7 billion. ## In Short P&G’s week was roughly flat against an S&P 500 rally of 1.21%, with an intra-week high of $149.20 followed by two days of pullback. The latest price remains below the 60-day average of $146.47. On ratings, the consensus target sits about 9.83% above spot, but 12 hold ratings point to unease over valuation and the pace of consumer demand. The latest session’s money flow snapshot shows large-lot money tilting to the sell side while retail money skews the other way, so the signal is mixed rather than one-directional. The open question is whether macro data this week and the October earnings print can back up margins and volume. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [PG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PG.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [A $3.8 Billion Reason Why Procter & Gamble Stock Is in Focus Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294987679.md) - [What You Need To Know Ahead of Procter & Gamble's Earnings Release](https://longbridge.com/en/news/292653907.md) - [Greg Abel-Led Berkshire Hathaway Owns 3 Consumer Stocks.
