P&G beats estimates as price hikes haven't hurt demand yet
P&G earnings surprise despite macro pressures.
Procter & Gamble's ( PG ) price hikes aren't crushing a consumer base dealing with higher inflation, yet.
The Tide maker delivered sales and profit upside for its fiscal first quarter on Thursday. The company maintained its full-year sales and profit outlooks.
"The US consumer is remarkably resilient," P&G CFO Andre Schulten told Yahoo Finance.
Schulten said the business is being powered by higher income households, while the lower end is being more cautious.
