Procter & Gamble has seen a strong start to 2026, with shares up 10% following a challenging 2025. This surge is attributed to a broader rotation of investors from high-growth tech stocks, concerned about AI’s impact and capital expenditures, into defensive consumer staples like P&G. The company’s performance is further bolstered by improving fundamentals, including strength in emerging markets, a weaker U.S. dollar, and lower oil prices, all contributing to better margins and sales.
