宝洁公司（P&G），即生产汰渍洗衣粉和潘婷洗发水的公司，周四警告称，原材料、能源和运输成本的上升可能会使其年度利润下降幅度超出预期。然而，其美容和家居护理产品的强劲需求帮助公司报告第一季度的销售额好于预期。
Procter & Gamble (P&G), the company that makes Tide detergent and Pantene shampoo, warned on Thursday that rising raw material, energy and transportation costs could reduce its annual profit by more than expected. However, strong demand for its beauty and home-care products helped the company report better-than-expected sales for the first quarter.P&G now expects higher costs to reduce its fiscal 2027 profit by around $1.4 billion, up from its earlier estimate of $1 billion.
