The consumer goods giant, known for its wide array of household products, has faced headwinds that have pressured its stock price over the past year, culminating in this recent low point. Despite a robust portfolio and strong brand recognition, PG has not been immune to the broader market trends that have seen many stocks retreat from their highs. Over the past year, Procter & Gamble’s stock has seen a decrease of 3.24%, reflecting investor concerns about issues ranging from supply chain disruptions to changing consumer spending habits in the face of inflationary pressures.
