Procter & Gamble (PG) Q4 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
Procter & Gamble (PG) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.43 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.4 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.50%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this world's largest consumer products maker would post earnings of $1.54 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.54, delivering no surprise. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. P&G, which belongs to the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry, posted revenues of $20.89 billion for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.39%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $20.53 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. P&G shares have lost about 6.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.6%. What's Next for P&G? While P&G has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for P&G was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.93 on $22.2 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.02 on $86.54 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Consumer Products - Staples is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Leslie's, Inc. (LESL), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 6.

Blue Green Works Unveils Sculptural Lighting Collection 'Crown'
Summary Blue Green Worksintroduces the 'Crown' collection, a sculptural lighting series that reinterprets the regal emblem through a minimalist lens. Conceived by Creative DirectorPeter B. Staples, the collection draws from his early fascination with tattoo iconography and medieval heraldry, distilling the crown's ceremonial weight into four refined fixtures. Each piece, crafted from hand-formed glass and polished steel or brass, strips away ornamentation while preserving the symbol's quiet authority, offering a modern meditation on tradition and form. Evolving from the studio's acclaimed 'Palm' series, 'Crown' continues Blue Green Works' exploration of materiality and silhouette. Glass 'petals' radiate from a central metal core, echoing Pierre Paulin's biomorphic curves and nodding to the legacy of Modernist design. The fixtures – Crown Pendant 1, Pendant 2, Pendant 3 and Flush Mount – balance expressive geometry with pragmatic function, casting a soft upward glow and a concentrated beam below. This duality reflects Staples's intent to give light a tangible shape, capturing not just illumination but its movement through space. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by master glass artisans in the Pacific Northwest, using a multi-phase process that emphasizes precision and restraint. The result is a collection that resists easy categorization, bridging eras and aesthetics. Available through Blue Green Works'official site, SCP in London and Triode in Paris, the 'Crown' collection stands as a testament to the studio's commitment to American craft and contemporary iconography.

Spartans' Aidan Chiles snubbed in On3's top Big Ten quarterbacks rankings
On3's Andy Staples has released his rankings of the top quarterbacks in the Big Ten, and unfortunately, Michigan State's Aidan Chiles did not make the cut. Staples put out his top 10 quarterbacks in the Big Ten list earlier this week, with Chiles failing to be included. You can see the top 10 list of quarterbacks from Staples in the social media X post below: Staples' list and opinion on Chiles aligns with Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports, who also had him as a back half of the Big Ten quarterback in his recent preseason rankings. Myerberg has Chiles listed as the No. 12 quarterback in his Big Ten rankings released earlier this month. Chiles is entering his second year as the Spartans' starter at quarterback, looking for more consistency from game-to-game. He finished last season with 2,415 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a completion percentage just under 60%. The bright spot, though, for Chiles was his growth during the second half the season where he only threw three of his 11 interceptions in the final six games of the year. For Michigan State to get back to a bowl game or above this season, Chiles will need to play like an upper half quarterback in the Big Ten. So, hopefully, if Staples were to do a postseason version of these same rankings, we will be seeing Chiles' name on that list unlike these preseason rankings.
