Shares of consumer products behemoth Proctor & Gamble (NYSE:PG) fell 5.4% in the morning session after the company reported mixed first quarter 2025 (fiscal Q3) results which included a significant beat on EBITDA but missed on revenue and came with lowered full-year EPS guidance. Sales dropped 2%, as people bought less in key lines like diapers and laundry. Higher prices kept organic sales just barely in the green at 1%. Zooming out, we think this was a mixed quarter. The areas below expectations seem to be driving the move.
