Procter & Gamble's fiscal 2027 guidance now calls for organic sales growth of 1% to 3% and core EPS of 0% to 3%. The company expects a commodity cost headwind of $1.4 billion after tax, assuming an effective Brent crude price of $100 a barrel, with materially higher cost pressure in Q2 and the second half of fiscal 2027 due to the Middle East conflict. In the quarter ended Sept. 30, organic sales rose 4%, core EPS rose 1%, and net sales increased 4% to $23.3 billion, with organic growth in all 10 categories and six regions. CFO Andre Schulten said the consumer remains resilient, with value growth of 2.5% to 3% across categories globally, unchanged from last quarter. He said the company will closely watch demand as high fuel and energy costs persist into fall and winter.

Morningstar says P&G's first-quarter organic sales rose 4.0%, with volume up 2.4% and pricing and mix adding 1.6%, but cost savings did not fully offset inflation, cutting adjusted gross margin 150 basis points to 49.8%. US sales grew 3% (versus a 1% decline in the fourth quarter) and China rose 8% (from 4%). Morningstar kept its $155 fair value estimate and wide-moat rating, and it views the roughly $4 billion Thorne HealthTech deal, under 1% of sales, as not signaling a push into consolidation, with cash returns still the priority. The firm expects more details on supply chain initiatives at P&G's Nov. 19 investor event. Shares rose more than 5% on Oct. 22.

CFO Andre Schulten said the U.S. consumer is “remarkably resilient,” though lower-income shoppers are more cautious. The company kept its full-year outlook of 1% to 3% organic sales growth and core EPS of $6.89 to $7.11. Core gross margin fell 150 basis points year over year, and the company expects $1.4 billion in after-tax commodity cost pressure this fiscal year.

P&G reported fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.00 per share and revenue of $23.3 billion, both ahead of analyst expectations of $1.88 and $22.8 billion according to an LSEG survey. Net sales rose 4% and volume grew 2.4%, led by the fabric and home care segment, which includes Tide and Febreze, with volume up 4.3%. The health care business was the weakest, with volume down 2.9%, while grooming volume fell 0.4%.

- Sweden's central bank revives e-krona debate as stablecoins and digital euro loom
Sweden's central bank, the Riksbank, is calling on lawmakers to reconsider a digital krona, warning that foreign-currency stablecoins and a planned digital euro could erode the krona's role in payments. A 2023 government inquiry found too little need for an e-krona, but the Riksbank says changing payment habits and growing security risks may warrant a new review. Only 5% of Swedes used cash for their last purchase, and the bank warns the krona could struggle to compete without a usable digital form. The Riksbank has not taken a position on issuing one, but says legislation would take at least five years, so preparations should start now. It also sees an e-krona as a backup payment option during power or telecom outages, and the digital euro's infrastructure could be reused, with that digital currency potentially debuting in 2029 if EU lawmakers approve the rules.
- Bitcoin in 'Wait and See Mode'—And That Might Be a Good Thing
Bitcoin has not moved more than 6% over the past month, and none of the top five cryptocurrencies has moved more than 2% over the past seven days. Bitcoin is trading around $81,735, down 1.2% on the day, and the Crypto Fear and Greed Index sits at a neutral 47. Some analysts say the quiet market could be an early sign of a bull market, since similar low-volatility stretches have previously been followed by 30% price swings in either direction within a few months. Carlos Guzman of GSR, however, says the stall mainly reflects risk-off sentiment across global markets, making a significant breakout unlikely while it persists. Markets are waiting for the Federal Reserve's October 28 rate decision, an $11.69 billion Bitcoin options expiry on October 30, and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
- A bank stock hits its daily ceiling with no sellers left in the 23/10 session
On 23/10, 23 of 28 bank stocks rose. Sacombank's STB hit its daily ceiling, up 6.86% to VND 68,500 per share with no sellers left, making it the highest-priced bank stock; it was the fourth straight gain, with over 8.2 million shares matched. The move came as Sacombank deputy chairman Nguyễn Đức Thụy was nominated to run for chairman of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) for the 10th term. Other gainers included NVB (+5.84%), EIB (+5.31%), OCB (+4.35%) and ACB (+3.9%). Foreign investors were net buyers of TCB (VND 152 billion), CTG (VND 62 billion) and HDB (VND 55 billion), but net sellers of ACB (VND 469 billion), STB (VND 84 billion) and MBB (VND 54 billion).
- OpenAI slashes valuation by $150bn
OpenAI has cut its valuation by $150bn, from the $1.4tn it sought in talks with investors to $1.25tn after pushback, according to the Financial Times. The move reflects growing investor concern about the cost of sustaining the AI boom, coming after Meta said it needed to raise 'hundreds of billions of dollars' and more than $1tn was wiped off US tech stocks on Thursday. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell as much as 2.3% on Friday morning. OpenAI is seeking $30bn before a stock listing next year, and the $1.25tn valuation would still be 47% above the $852bn it was valued at when it secured a record $122bn in March. Anthropic is also preparing an IPO, but investors have discussed valuing it at about $1.5tn, down from the $2tn previously expected.
- If I Could Only Buy 1 AI Stock in November After This Sell-Off, It Would Be This One.
Last week, several AI stocks fell sharply: Oracle dropped about 9%, Super Micro Computer lost 23%, and Astera Labs (ALAB) fell over 15% despite having no borrowings and about $1.25 billion in cash and short-term investments. The author argues Astera was dragged down by concerns over data center spending, not by any change in its business. In October, the company launched Aries 7, a PCIe 7 signal-conditioning lineup, and Orion, a rack-scale reference design that lets cloud providers swap GPUs or CPUs without redesigning the rack, with what the company calls significantly lower upfront capex. The article cites risks including a high trailing earnings multiple, the chairman's sale of $51 million of shares in September, and reliance on a short list of hyperscale customers. Astera reports third-quarter results on Nov. 3, and the author says they would buy in November and hold through the next product cycle.
- HSBC launches Hong Kong dollar stablecoin for retail payments
HSBC has launched RedCoin (RCHKD), its first Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, for transfers and merchant payments through its PayMe app, redeemable one-for-one for Hong Kong dollars. More than 3.3 million PayMe users will be able to activate stablecoin wallets in the coming days, with HSBC Digital Assets Custody providing safekeeping. The consumer rollout follows Anchorpoint's HKDAP stablecoin launch for institutions and professional investors via HashKey Exchange in August, after HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial (a joint venture backed by Standard Chartered, Animoca Brands and HKT) both received issuer licenses in April as the first companies approved under Hong Kong's framework. HSBC plans to add RedCoin wallets to its HSBC HK Mobile Banking App later this year for tokenized investment products, including a new share class of its Hong Kong dollar money market fund, and to expand RedCoin into wholesale corporate and institutional uses.
