Procter & Gamble enters fiscal 2027 with an 8% core EPS headwind, as management guides to 1% to 3% organic sales growth but faces $1.4 billion in after-tax pressures from higher costs, financing, and currency. The largest drag is an estimated $1 billion after tax from raw-material, energy, and transportation costs, with much of the impact expected in the first half of the year. Higher net interest expense and lower non-operating income each add $150 million, while unfavorable foreign exchange contributes $50 million. P&G plans to offset these pressures through productivity gains, which generated $2.8 billion in before-tax savings in fiscal 2026, and by maintaining brand investment. Core EPS is expected to range from unchanged to up 3% from fiscal 2026, implying $6.89 to $7.11 per share.
