Bloomsburg Investment Group
Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods. -
The Best a Brand Can Be? P&G's Femvertising Meeting Hegemonic
Course: SKOM12 Term: Spring 2020 Supervisor: Scott Burnett Examiner: Cecilia Cassinger The best a brand can be? P&G’s femvertising meeting hegemonic masculinity PATRICIA AGUDELO Lund University Department of strategic communication Master’s thesis 1 Abstract The best a brand can be? P&G’s femvertising meeting hegemonic masculinity This thesis uses Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and Multimodal Discourse Analysis to study how a house of brands, like Procter & Gamble (P&G), handles femvertising, that it is produced by its own brands. The paper analyses the phenomenon using examples from commercials that belong to P&G’s #WeSeeEqual campaign and the controversial commercial video from Gillette The best men can be. One research questions served as a guideline for this project: What characterizes the femvertising pieces targeting women and/or men, produced by the house of brands P&G for their brands Gillette, Fairy, Ariel and Always? In order to be able to study this phenomenon, the empirical materials that will be analysed are: 1) #ShareTheLoad by Ariel, 2) #MakeItFair by Fairy, 3) #LikeAGirl by Always, and 4) The best men can be by Gillette. As theoretical framework this paper uses Foucault’s theory of power and the theory of hegemonic masculinity by Connell & Messerschmidt. What was identified after analysing the data was that the different commercials always include hegemonic masculinity somehow in their content, in some it is attacked directly, in others in a subtle and implicit way and in others just excused or justified.
