Guidance is not reached and the multiple goes with it. The June quarter printed 0% organic growth with volume, price and mix all flat, Baby, Feminine & Family Care fell 2% organic, and Health Care's Oral Care lost volume in both North America and Greater China. Against that, fiscal 2027 carries a disclosed ~$1bn after-tax cost headwind worth $0.56 a share, most of it in the first half, and the CFO has already said first-quarter EPS will be 'down 5% or more'. The 0.25pp a quarter this case removes from every line is itself disclosed arithmetic: roughly 0.15pp of the trailing rate is the fiscal 2026 currency tailwind that guidance sets to zero, and about 0.10pp is the 30 to 50 basis points of brand, product form and go-to-market discontinuations P&G has put inside its own organic guidance. Margins give back 100bp for the reinvestment step-up and the exit falls to 12x, roughly the 2018 staples de-rating. Fiscal 2027 net sales land at $86.90bn, 0.15% below fiscal 2026 and below the guided floor of $87.90bn, and fair value is $100.64.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Segment identity, not an apportionment. Sixteen quarters are read from filed segment tables; the four April-June quarters are derived as fiscal-year total less the nine-month column and are marked estimated. No dollar split between Oral Care and Personal Health Care is disclosed and none is manufactured.
  • The four seasonal factors are the largest and most economically legible shape in the company: October-December peaks at 1.087 and April-June troughs at 0.901, which is the cold, flu and respiratory season in Personal Health Care. The 10-K names Personal Health Care as a seasonal component while saying no reportable segment is highly seasonal, and both statements are consistent with an 18.7-point amplitude on a 2.5-point window-to-window spread.
  • The 28.92% EBITDA margin is fiscal 2026: (earnings before income taxes $3,163m + depreciation and amortisation $439m) / net sales $12,456m. Health Care organic sales fell 1% in the June quarter, with Oral Care down mid single digits on volume declines in North America and Greater China.
