P&G's products are largely considered consumer staples, meaning demand for them tends to be stable and less affected by economic downturns. Historically, P&G's stock price has exhibited a seasonal trend, with gains observed 78.57% of the time between August 10 and September 19 over the past 15 years, averaging a 1.87% return. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in demand for household products and a significant increase in e-commerce sales, trends that P&G anticipates will continue. The company has seen increased demand for key brands such as Tide, Mr. Clean, Dawn, and Cascade. P&G is strategically positioned to capitalize on macro trends, including a continued focus on home and a stronger consumer preference for reputable brands.
