History was made last week when the consumer staples sector suffered its worst two-day decline in over 20 years. Consumer staples stocks are favorites among retirees and income investors because they tend to pay attractive dividends and produce steady growth over time. Here's why Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) stands out as best in breed among Dividend Kings -- which are S&P 500 companies that have paid and raised their dividends for at least 50 years.
On the other hand, consumer demand has been resilient, and concentrated on fewer available goods and services. To combat these additional costs, Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and many other businesses have raised prices on their products. Fortunately for P&G shareholders, consumers are not balking at the increases.
P&G (PG) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock? We take a look at earnings estimates for some clues.
