Shares of The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) are trading higher Tuesday. This could be the beginning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals">of a new uptrend.</a>
The stock is currently at support and oversold, which historically signals the potential for a rally. That&#8217;s why our team of experts has chosen it as our Stock of the Day.
As you can see on the chart, $159.20 has been support for Proctor and Gamble. When the stock dropped to this level in late July a rally followed. The same thing happened at the end of November. Now it has reached this level again.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="552" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14133554/pg-chart-1024x552.png" alt="" class="wp-image-733220" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14133554/pg-chart-1024x552.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14133554/pg-chart-300x162.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14133554/pg-chart-768x414.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14133554/pg-chart.png 1524w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Support is a large concentration of investors and traders who are looking to buy shares at or close to the same price. Stocks often rally after they reach support.
This happens when some who wish to buy become concerned others may outbid them. They know people who wish to sell will go to whoever is willing to pay the highest price.

So, these concerned buyers increase the prices they are willing to pay for their shares. Other concerned buyers see this and do the same thing. This results in a bidding war or snowball effect that can force the price higher.
P&amp;G is also very oversold.
The red line on the chart is called a Bollinger Band. It is two standard deviations below the 20-day moving average price. Statistics and probability theory suggest that 95% of trading should take place within these two standard deviations.
If this threshold is exceeded to the downside, it will draw buyers into the market. They will be expecting a revision to the mean or a move higher. Their buying could move the price higher. As you can see, this has happened before.
Shares of Procter &amp; Gamble are oversold and at support, conditions that could trigger a move higher and potentially start a new uptrend.

 </style>By closely examining Procter &amp; Gamble, we can identify the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
The Price to Earnings ratio of 28.65 is 0.58x lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 7.67, significantly falling below the industry average by 0.24x, it suggests undervaluation and the possibility of untapped growth prospects.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 4.89, which is 1.98x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a lower Return on Equity (ROE) of 6.2%, which is 52.89% below the industry average. This indicates potential inefficiency in utilizing equity to generate profits, which could be attributed to various factors.
</li>
<li>
With higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $4.85 Billion, which is 12.76x above the industry average, the company demonstrates stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
The company has higher gross profit of $10.18 Billion, which indicates 13.22x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of -0.1% is significantly below the industry average of 1.91%. This suggests a potential struggle in generating increased sales volume.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730386834_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a measure that indicates the level of debt a company has taken on relative to the value of its assets net of liabilities.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By evaluating Procter &amp; Gamble against its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following observations arise:
<ul>
<li>
Procter &amp; Gamble demonstrates a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers in the sector.
</li>
<li>
With a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.67, the company relies less on debt financing and maintains a healthier balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The PE, PB, and PS ratios for Procter &amp; Gamble indicate that it is undervalued compared to its peers in the Household Products industry. However, the low ROE suggests that the company is not efficiently utilizing its assets to generate profits. On the other hand, the high EBITDA and gross profit margins highlight strong operational performance. The low revenue growth rate may be a concern for the company's future prospects in the industry.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Procter & Gamble

Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KVUE#NYSE">KVUE</a>) shares are moving higher Monday following a report suggesting activist investor Starboard Value has acquired <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41419988/tylenol-listerine-maker-kenvue-under-activist-spotlight-with-starboard-value-stake-overhaul-ahea">a stake in the company</a>. 
The Details: According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/activist-starboard-value-takes-stake-in-tylenol-maker-kenvue-cc3175bb">Wall Street Journal</a>, Starboard has acquired a &#8220;sizable&#8221; stake in Kenvue and is pushing for changes to boost the consumer-products company&#8217;s share price. The activist investor asserts that Kenvue has &#8220;some of the best consumer brands,&#8221; yet its stock has lagged behind its competitors for over a year.
Kenvue&#8217;s iconic brands include Aveeno, BAND-AID Brand, Johnson&#8217;s, Listerine, Neutrogena and Tylenol. Kenvue shares are up just 7% year-to-date compared to more than 23% gains in the S&amp;P 500. Competitors Haleon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLN#NYSE">HLN</a>) and Proctor and Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) have climbed 21% and 16%, respectively, since the start of the year.
The exact size of Starboard's position in Kenvue was not shared. Starboard&#8217;s specific turnaround ideas were also not reported, but people familiar with the matter said Starboard CEO Jeff Smith is expected to discuss more about Starboard&#8217;s perspective on Kenvue at the 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit in New York on Tuesday. 
According to a separate <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/activist-starboard-could-push-for-kenvue-to-sell-some-all-of-its-sbh-business-analyst/ar-AA1sEH3C?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds">report</a>, Starboard may try to push the company to sell its skin, healthcare and beauty division in whole or part.
In a note released Monday, JPMorgan analyst Andrea Teixeira said, &#8220;Given the SHB segment has been a key area of debate on the stock over the past year and a half, we would expect Starboard to detail changes it would like to see management make to this division — which we suspect could involve divesting some/all of the segment.&#8221;
Kenvue was spun out of Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) last year. The company currently has a market cap of more than $41 billion, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
