What the Options Market Tells Us About Procter & Gamble

Mounting global trade tensions are leading to sharp market fluctuations as investors are scrambling for ways <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/trade-war">to protect their portfolios</a>. 
The U.S. has imposed tariffs on major trade partners, including Mexico, Canada, and China, leading to economic uncertainty. 
As a result, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs have emerged</a> as a safe option for those looking to hedge against volatility while maintaining diversified exposure to various asset classes.

<ul>
<li>SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): Gold has long been a preferred asset during market turmoil.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Turbulence from the Trade War</h3>
The recent imposition of tariffs by the U.S. on major trade partners—Mexico, Canada, and China—has injected significant uncertainty into the markets. With 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and a 10% levy on Chinese goods, equities initially reacted negatively. Although a temporary pause on tariffs for Mexico and Canada provided a brief market recovery, it is widely believed that Trump will go ahead with the policies one day or the other.
In another step in his trade policy overhaul, Reuters reported that on Feb. 9, Trump said he will introduce fresh <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43592144/us-steel-aluminum-stocks-rally-as-trump-revives-25-tariff-plan">25% tariffs </a>on all steel and aluminum imports into the U.S. These tariffs will add to the existing metals duties.
Strong retaliatory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43600852/china-sets-sights-on-us-tech-companies-as-trade-tensions-rise">tariffs from China</a>, and sanction plans on U.S. goods by Canada and Mexico are adding to the nail-biting situation.
Additionally, with the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in their recent meeting led investors to lower their expectations for lower rates, throwing the market into more uncertainty.
According to the CME <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">FedWatch </a>Tool, the Fed has a 91.5% probability of keeping the rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5% in March, while there&#8217;s an 8.1% chance that the Fed cut the rate to 4%-4.25% in its March meeting.
While trade conflicts can cause market swings, investors can mitigate risks by allocating capital to ETFs that focus on keeping investors&#8217; money safe. Whether through gold, Treasuries or defensive equities, these funds offer more opportunities to diversification and manage risks as global trade policies evolve.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Herzog expressed increasing optimism about Procter &amp; Gamble following stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, with organic sales growth of +3%, surpassing consensus expectations of 2.0%–2.5%.
This was mainly driven by better-than-expected volume/mix performance, the analyst wrote. While there were concerns about an end-market slowdown and previous headwinds like Blue Yonder and FX, management highlighted strong customer orders in late December, which helped offset disruptions from Blue Yonder.
About 85% of the business in regions such as the U.S., Europe, and Latin America continued to grow around 4%, with improvements seen in China. However, management warned conditions in China may remain volatile.
The strong sales growth in Beauty and Baby, Fem &amp; Family Care segments, particularly driven by SK-II and Family Care, were key contributors to the top-line beat, the analyst adds.
Herzog viewed the company as one of the most resilient HPC companies in its coverage, with potential for +MSD EPS growth in the long term due to strong top-line performance, easing input costs, and operating leverage.
The analyst&#8217;s optimism increased after the company&#8217;s solid organic sales growth, positive comments on a stable consumer environment, and improving trends in China.

Stifel analyst Mark S. Astrachan reiterated the Hold rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $165 from $161.
Astrachan sees near-term risk/reward for P&amp;G shares as balanced, with valuation slightly below historical averages.
The analyst projects accelerating organic sales and EBIT growth through F2025, driven by favorable comparisons and high base period marketing spend.
Growth is anticipated to be supported by improving trends in China, where sales increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to declines in previous quarters.
The analyst notes, SK-II trends also showed improvement, with a 3% year-over-year increase and a ~1000bps sequential improvement in the two-year CAGR. U.S. sales, which represented 48% of total sales, remained solid and grew 4%, consistent with recent trends.
BofA Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillane maintained a Buy rating on Procter &amp; Gamble, with a price forecast of $190.
The analyst noted that in Africa/Middle East, the company would be comparing against last year&#8217;s conflict-related softness, while in China, a sequential improvement in sales signaled improving momentum.
Management remains cautious about the Chinese consumer, but with SK-II returning to growth in 2Q, there is optimism for improvement in other struggling markets.
In Latin America/Europe, easing comparisons and improving trends in North America should support growth in the core 85% of the company&#8217;s markets, which requires only -3% growth in the rest of the regions to meet the low end of the +3% organic growth target.
The analyst also highlighted that hurricane-related pantry-loading in the U.S. last quarter may affect consumption in the third quarter, but the company&#8217;s proven innovation and activation strategies should help boost growth in the fourth quarter.
PG Price Action: Procter &amp; Gamble shares are trading higher by 0.64% to $165.80 at last check Thursday.

Insights From Analysts
The performance of the &#8216;Magnificent 7&#8217; companies will drive corporate earnings growth, according to the analysts at BlackRock because these firms possess robust balance sheets, significant cash reserves, and negative net debt, enhancing their resilience to rising interest rates.
&#8220;Even in a higher-rate environment, we still think stocks can keep pushing higher as long as fundamentals stay strong,&#8221; the note stated.
BlackRock&#8217;s current stance remains risk-on as it anticipates the broadening of the AI beneficiary pool. However, it will monitor for potential triggers that may necessitate a shift in investment strategy.
According to Jason Goepfert, consultant at White Oak Consultancy and the founder of SentimenTrader, the S&amp;P 500 index was headed toward a rebound from a two-month low to a record high in just seven sessions on Wednesday. However, it didn&#8217;t close at a fresh record.
If the S&amp;P 500 hits a new record high in Thursday&#8217;s session, it will be its second fastest rebound over eight sessions, with the first quickest rebound recorded on June 24, 1998.

S&P 500 Hits New Record As Netflix Reports Strong Results: Investor Sentiment Improves But Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

The S&amp;P 500 briefly hit 6,100 points on Wednesday, reaching a fresh all-time high as Wall Street embraced a powerful mix of strong corporate earnings and President Donald Trump's bold $500 billion artificial intelligence<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43139410/softbanks-role-in-500-billion-stargate-ai-venture-seen-as-major-growth-driver-analyst-says"> initiative, dubbed &#8220;AI Stargate.&#8221; </a>
The project, designed to transform America's AI infrastructure, added fuel to a market already cheering on stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and rising hopes of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts later this year.
Mega-cap technology stocks and semiconductor giants led the charge, pushing the S&amp;P 500 — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — higher for the sixth time in the last seven sessions.
By midday Wednesday, the S&amp;P 500 hit 6,100.4 points, narrowly surpassing its previous record of 6,099 set on Dec. 6.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Stargate: A Game-Changing Investment in AI Infrastructure</h3>
Trump unveiled AI Stargate on Jan. 21. The joint venture unites OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, SoftBank, backed by Masayoshi Son, and Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) to build next-generation AI infrastructure.
The project aims to invest up to $500 billion over four years to develop massive AI data centers across the U.S., starting with an initial $100 billion phase.
Trump hailed the initiative as a &#8220;declaration of confidence in America&#8217;s potential,&#8221; emphasizing its importance in keeping the future of AI technology within U.S. borders. 
AI Stargate is expected to create 100,000 jobs almost immediately, further boosting optimism about economic growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Strength Fuels Market Optimism</h3>
While AI excitement dominated headlines, a strong corporate earnings season provided the foundation for the market&#8217;s rally. 
As of Jan. 17, 81% of S&amp;P 500 companies reporting fourth-quarter results had exceeded Wall Street's profit forecasts, while 64% had beaten revenue estimates, according to FactSet.
Mega-cap firms reporting earnings this week — including Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>), Prologis Inc.

&#8220;The S&amp;P 500's forward profit margin was at a record-high 13.6% during the January 18, 2025, week, up 0.9 percentage points from 12.7% a year earlier,&#8221; veteran investor Ed Yardeni said in a note Wednesday. 
&#8220;Corporate profitability should continue to improve even as Trump's administration faces a big fiscal headwind.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Titans Drive The Market Higher</h2>
The so-called &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; stocks were at the center of Wednesday's rally, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) climbing 1.5%.

S&P 500 Hits Fresh Records At 6,100: Strong Earnings, Trump's AI Wager Fuel Bull Run

Tech stocks enjoyed a surge Wednesday, driven by a sharp rise in semiconductor shares after President Donald Trump, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) co-founder Larry Ellison, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son unveiled the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus">Stargate Project on Tuesday</a>.
The $500 billion initiative is set to develop AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years.
According to OpenAI, &#8220;this infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world.&#8221;
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) was up 2.3% by midday trading in New York, eyeing their fourth straight positive session, the longest streak since late September. 
Yet, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&#8217;s CEO Elon Musk questioned the financial viability, saying that founders &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43121798/elon-musk-says-project-stargate-doesnt-actually-have-the-money-after-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment-led-by-softbank-oracle-and-openai">don't actually have the money</a>.&#8221;

The earnings season continues to be off to a strong start, with companies surpassing fourth-quarter expectations, showcasing the resilience of corporate America. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) delivered a stronger-than-expected quarterly performance across the board, driving its shares up 12%.
Elsewhere, small caps paused for a breather following Tuesday&#8217;s outperformance vis-à-vis large-cap counterparts. 
Chinese stocks slipped, with the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) down 0.8%, after Trump floated the idea of imposing a 10% tariff on China starting from Feb. 1.
In commodities, gold prices surged to an 11-week-high, marking their tenth gain in the past eleven sessions, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical risks.
On Wednesday, Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of potential new sanctions if a peace deal for Ukraine is not reached. Meanwhile, oil prices remained flat after three consecutive sessions of losses.
In the crypto market, selling pressure is mounting as traders react to the absence of crypto-related commentary from the new administration, which had previously positioned itself as crypto-friendly. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) retreated nearly 2% to $104,000.
