Procter&Gamble Q4 Rapport

Igår släppte P&G sin sista kvartalsrapport och marknaden reagerade positivt på rapporten (+3,1%)  Några viktiga punkter från rapporten var:

Operating cash flow was $4.0 billion for the quarter and free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital spending, was $2.7 billion.


Core net earnings per share were in line with the prior year period at $0.82. The benefits from cost savings and pricing were offset by the decrease in net sales and higher commodity costs.
