Procter & Gamble shares dropped almost 3% Tuesday after Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten warned of a "tougher context" for P&G's U.S. business.
The consumer has grown more cautious, and the government shutdown and loss of SNAP food-assistance benefits also impacted sales in the fourth quarter, Schulten said at a Morgan Stanley retail conference.
"I think the context in the U.S. is more volatile. Probably the most volatile we've seen in a long time," he said.
With today's decline, P&G shares are flirting with their lowest closing level since October 2023.
