Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Procter & Gamble (PG.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The discussion surrounding Procter & Gamble's future focuses on the sustainability of its organic growth following a first quarter that aligned with expectations, showcasing modest organic sales growth and a slight earnings per share advantage stemming from items below the profit line. Considering the company's 'solid execution' and forthcoming easier comparisons, especially in markets such as China and the Middle East, expectations are set for a rebound in organic sales growth.
Procter & Gamble has been performing exceptionally well in its major markets, including the U.S., Europe, and key Latin American territories, which cumulatively account for a significant portion of its sales and probably its profits. However, adjustments to the Q2 estimates have been made to reflect additional risks from the China market, according to an analyst in a post-earnings discussion.
