On April 9, RBC Capital trimmed its price target on The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) from $172 to $167, but maintained its ‘Outperform’ rating on the shares. The lowered target, which still indicates an upside of 15% from the current levels, comes as part of the analyst’s firm’s broader research note previewing the upcoming Q1 results in Home and Personal Care, Beverages, and Packaged Food categories.

RBC Capital is projecting the March quarter to be stable, though growth remains slow. The analyst expects a primary focus on the forward-looking commentary, as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has created top-line and inflationary risks. While the current ceasefire is a welcome development, RBC expects lingering impacts, with commodity prices to remain higher than pre-war levels.
