Consumer goods giant The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)’s shares are down by 10% over the past year but are up by 5.7% year-to-date. Several analysts have discussed the firm in 2026, and their opinions have varied between raising and cutting the share price target. As an example, Barclays increased the share price target to $155 from $151 and kept an Equal Weight rating. The bank pointed out that The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) pressures stemming from oil and currency could generate headwinds for the firm in 2026. Unlike Barclays, UBS cut the share price target to $161 from $176 and maintained a Buy rating on the back of uncertain market conditions for consumer staples stocks in late 2026. A recent optimistic take came from JPMorgan as it pointed out that The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) could benefit from a sales growth acceleration and improved margins. Cramer appears to concur with JPMorgan as he believes The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)’s new CEO can inject fresh life into the shares:

“Procter & Gamble, it’s a new order, it’s a new CEO. Already JPMorgan upgraded without anything going. This new CEO, international in orientation. He talked about Brazil, he talked about Mexico, he talked about China, That is not the usual Proctor which is [inaudible] about overseas. I really like it, I think it’s the beginning of a major move, Procter & Gamble.

“They’re using innovation, I’ve been waiting Procter to innovate. And they’re finally doing it. There was a pause in innovation. I think that this is, again, I reiterate that Proctor was radically lower versus were it was. It was at 170 not that long ago. The analysts all deserted it. One by one they’ll have to come over. We’ve seen this kind of like lemming like process. You don’t go against Proctor & Gamble at 140, 150. This is Proctor, this is not Clorox. . .”
