0946 ET - Most of Procter & Gamble's analyst call Friday focused on whether the company's top-line momentum can continue, and what its earnings power will look like next year, UBS analysts say in a research note. Currently, management is optimistic that category trends are stabilizing and improving. The company also seemed to emphasize that it expects a combination of productivity, pricing and innovation to deliver earnings growth in FY27, UBS says. "With top line trends improving, earnings expectations likely in a realistic spot exiting the day, and the stock still trading below recent historical averages relative to large-cap multinational peers, we think the risk/reward continues to skew to the upside and see room for outperformance from here," the analysts say. UBS maintains P&G's buy rating and raises its price target to $172 from $166. P&G is up 0.1% to $148.34.(connor.hart@wsj.com)
