A plain-English look at Procter & Gamble's revenue, profitability, and market value, drawn entirely from public filings and market data.
A Cincinnati Company Since 1837
Few American companies have a supply closet as full as Procter & Gamble. Founded in 1837 and still headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company has grown into one of the world's largest makers of everyday consumer products. It went public in March 1950 and now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PG.
Brands in Nearly Every Home
P&G's business is built on more than 20 brands that each generate over $1 billion in annual global sales — names like Tide, Charmin, Pantene, and Pampers. These aren't niche products; they're the kind of items that end up in shopping carts week after week, which helps explain the steadiness of the company's results.
What the Revenue Number Means
In fiscal year 2025, P&G reported revenue of $84.3 billion. That figure puts the company among the largest consumer goods businesses in the country, reflecting sales across laundry, personal care, and household products sold both in the United States and abroad. More than half of that revenue comes from outside the company's home market, underscoring how global its footprint has become.
A Decade of Growth
Revenue climbed 18% between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2024, a meaningful expansion for a company already operating at this scale. Growth at this size usually comes from a mix of pricing, volume, and steady demand for household staples rather than any single blockbuster product.

Profitability by the Numbers
P&G turned a net income of $16.0 billion in FY2025, meaning it kept a substantial share of every dollar it brought in. Its gross margin — the percentage of revenue left after covering the direct cost of making its products — stands at 51.4%. Its net margin, which accounts for all expenses, comes in at 17.8%. Together, these figures describe a company that manufactures and sells its goods efficiently.
Balance Sheet Scale
The company reports total assets of $125.2 billion, a figure that includes everything from manufacturing plants and equipment to brand-related assets and inventory. It's a useful reminder that a company's yearly sales are only part of the picture; the assets behind those sales matter too.
How the Market Values P&G
P&G's market capitalization sits at $341.2 billion, a figure calculated by multiplying its share price by the total number of shares outstanding. Its recent share price was $147.43, though that figure is delayed by fifteen minutes and shifts constantly with trading. The stock is currently trading 13% below its 52-week high, meaning it has pulled back somewhat from its most recent peak.
Reading the P/E Ratio
The company carries a price-to-earnings ratio of 24.5, a common shorthand investors use to compare how a stock's price relates to its earnings. On its own, a P/E ratio doesn't say whether a stock is a good or bad investment — it's simply one data point among many that market watchers use for comparison.
Dividend and Workforce
P&G pays a dividend yielding about 2.95% annually, a return that shareholders receive in addition to any change in the stock's price. Behind all these numbers sits a workforce of approximately 109,000 employees, the people producing and moving the diapers, detergents, and shampoos that fill store shelves across the country and around the world.
The Bottom Line
