Procter & Gamble’s Q2 earnings test investor patience amid Wall Street doubts
Procter & Gamble is set to release its second-quarter earnings on January 22, 2026. Investors and analysts will watch closely as the company faces growing scepticism on Wall Street. Recent price target cuts from major firms have raised concerns about its short-term stock market performance.
The consumer goods giant has seen its stock price come under pressure in recent weeks. TD Cowen reduced its target from $168 to $150, while Wells Fargo cut its outlook from $170 to $158. Both firms cited weak growth prospects in the near term.
Shares currently trade at around $141.53, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.4 and a dividend yield of roughly 3%. Despite a 3% revenue increase in the last quarter, management’s cautious full-year guidance suggests only low to mid-single-digit growth.
Beyond financial concerns, the company recently settled with the Texas Attorney General over Crest children’s toothpaste packaging. New designs will now help ensure proper dosing for young users.
Analysts expect average revenue of $22.36 billion and earnings per share of $1.87 in the upcoming report. The results will likely play a key role in determining whether the stock can recover investor confidence.
The January 22 earnings announcement arrives at a critical moment for Procter & Gamble. With multiple price target reductions and modest growth forecasts, the report will shape gold price sentiment in the coming months. Investors will look for signs of stronger momentum before reassessing the stock’s potential.
