A] Estimating Procter & Gamble’s Total Revenue
- P&G’s revenue has grown from $65.06 billion in 2017 to $67.68 billion in 2019, on the back of an increase in selling prices and steady growth in revenue from emerging markets.
- After shedding over 100 underperforming brands and reinventing its supply chain in the last 5 years, P&G is finally expected to report steady, consistent revenue growth.
- We expect this growth to continue, driving total revenue to $70.57 billion in 2020, a ~4% YoY growth.
B] Deriving Procter & Gamble’s Net Income
- Net Income dropped from $9.86 billion in 2017 to $3.63 Billion in 2019, primarily due to the $8 billion Gillette write-down.
- However, we expect it to grow to around $12.29 billion in 2020, as net margins rise to levels above that in 2017.
C] Determining Procter & Gamble’s EPS
- EPS has dropped from $3.80 in 2017 to $1.45 in 2019, and we estimate it to be $4.98 in 2020.
- Expected EPS growth in 2020 can be attributed to higher Net Income, driven by growing revenue and net margins, and lower outstanding share count.
D] Estimating Procter & Gamble’s Share Price
- Our Price Estimate of $130 For P&G’s Stock is based on our Detailed Valuation Model, and implies a 26.1x P/E Multiple on expected 2020 EPS of $4.98
