Procter & Gamble shares were on the decline early Wednesday following the household-products maker's fiscal second-quarter earnings and upbeat outlook -- evidence that shoppers are still flocking to its premium brands amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
寶潔(Procter&Gamble)週三早盤股價下跌，此前這家家居產品製造商公佈了第二財季業績和樂觀的前景，這表明在新冠肺炎疫情肆虐的情況下，消費者仍在蜂擁至寶潔高端品牌。
Procter & Gamble (PG) said it earned $3.85 billion, or $1.47 a share. Adjusted earnings per share, which exclude the impact of currency, were $1.64 on revenue that rose 8% to $19.75 billion. Analysts were looking for earnings per share of $1.51 on revenue of $19.27 billion.
寶潔(Procter&Gamble)表示，該公司盈利38.5億美元，合每股1.47美元。不包括匯率影響的調整後每股收益為1.64美元，營收增長8%，至1975億美元。分析師此前預計營收為192.7億美元，每股收益為1.51美元。
Organic sales, a key metric for staples stocks that excludes growth from acquisitions and other factors and a long-term source of strength for P&G, climbed 8% in the quarter. In addition, the company boosted its full-year organic sales forecast, saying it now anticipates growth between 5% and 6%, up from a prior range of 4% to 5%.
有機銷售額是衡量主要股票的關鍵指標，不包括收購和其他因素帶來的增長，也是寶潔的長期力量來源。該季度有機銷售額攀升了8%。此外，該公司上調了全年有機產品銷售預期，稱目前預計增長在5%至6%之間，高於此前4%至5%的區間。
P&G was down 0.4% to $133.09 in recent trading. The shares are up about 6% in the past 12 months, although they've fallen 4% since the start of the year.
在最近的交易中，寶潔下跌0.4%，至133.09美元。該公司股價在過去12個月裏上漲了約6%，但自今年年初以來已經下跌了4%。
The upbeat report is the latest in a string of good news for P&G, which has beaten expectations in the past four quarters thanks to growing demand for its premium products. While high unemployment and economic uncertainty has hurt many Americans, consumers as a whole haven't hesitated to pay up for P&G's brands throughout the crisis, a pattern that's continued to unfold.
這份樂觀的報告是寶潔一連串好消息中的最新一份，過去四個季度，由於對其高端產品的需求不斷增長，寶潔的業績超出了預期。雖然高失業率和經濟不確定性傷害了許多美國人，但在整個危機期間，消費者毫不猶豫地為寶潔的品牌買單，這一模式仍在繼續展開。
Not surprisingly, the company's fabric and home-care unit was the strongest standout, with a 12% gain, helped by cleaning brands like Tide and Mr. Clean. P&G's health care division saw a 9% increase in sales, while personal grooming logged a 5% gain as many people have focused on health and wellness during the pandemic. The company noted that both sales volumes and prices rose in the period.
不出所料，得益於Tide和Mr Clean等清潔品牌的幫助，該公司的面料和家庭護理部門表現最好，漲幅為12%。寶潔的醫療保健部門的銷售額增長了9%，而個人美容部門的銷售額增長了5%，因為在大流行期間，許多人都把重點放在了健康和健康上。該公司指出，這一時期的銷售量和價格都有所上升。
The company's previous fiscal first quarter, delivered in October, showed stronger organic sales growth. The sequential decline remains well above pre-Covid levels.
該公司在10月份發佈的上一財年第一季度顯示出更強勁的有機銷售增長。連續下降的幅度仍遠高於冰凍前的水平。
P&G has also continued to return cash to shareholders to the tune of $2 billion in dividend payouts and $3 billion in share repurchases.
寶潔還繼續向股東返還20億美元的股息和30億美元的股票回購。
