Unilever is selling Dollar Shave Club seven years after paying $1 billion for the brand. Unilever struggled to grow Dollar Shave Club, sources previously told. "Dollar Shave Club did not deliver as expected, and the economics of the DTC model changed," then-CEO Jope said during an earnings call in 2022. "Dollar Shave Club will also serve as a platform for additional brands with a similar DNA." Do you have a story idea about Dollar Shave Club or Unilever to share?

When the Veralto spinoff from Danaher was completed earlier this month, shareholders like us received one VLTO share for every three shares of DHR owned. Recall that in Danaher's earnings report, third-quarter results for the Environmental & Applied Solutions outpaced expectations for both sales and operating income. On Thursday's call, CFO Sameer Ralhan said Veralto implemented some cost optimizations in the third quarter that will start delivering benefits in the ongoing fourth quarter. Other notable dynamics in Veralto's third quarter include free cash flow generation coming in at 113% of GAAP earnings (which was higher than adjusted earnings at 83 cents per share). Finally, Veralto expects to initiate a quarterly dividend of 9 cents per share in the fourth quarter.

Results haven't been bad, but the macro is overwhelming everything, and fourth-quarter guidance is slipping. Here's a general rule for the stock market: earnings are the main determinant of stock prices in the long run, but in rare cases macro trends can overwhelm their message. Earnings are OK, but the trend is down On the surface, this looks like a good earnings season. With earnings, however, it's the trend in the forward quarter that matters: is the trend up or down? If Treasury yields stabilize or even move lower, that will be a more important factor than a slightly lower earnings environment.

We also look for a solid balance sheet with a close eye on the net debt (preferably net cash) level. Net debt is simply total debt minus cash and cash equivalents. If it is a negative number, that's a net cash position. Having a net debt position isn't a deal breaker, but we do need to ensure there are no large debts coming due on the horizon. Amazon (AMZN) is expected to have gone from a net debt position to a net cash position during the third-quarter.

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares tumbled in Asia on Thursday following a retreat on Wall Street after big U.S. companies delivered mixed profit reports and Treasury yields added pressure on stocks. Exports rose 4.3% while imports sank 16.3% in September and the trade balance swung to a surplus of 62.4 trillion yen ($410 billion). A big threat for the global economy is what oil prices will do to inflation. It rose 2.6% after reporting stronger profit than expected for the latest quarter as its revenue rose after it hiked prices. In other trading early Thursday, the dollar fell to 149.80 Japanese yen from 149.93 yen.

Procter & Gamble, whose brands include Herbal Essences, said on Wednesday its organic sales rose 7% from a year earlier in the three months through September. Photo: GABBY JONES for The Wall Street JournalProcter & Gamble sees a recovering consumer everywhere but in one market, which just so happens to be the world’s second-largest economy. That is encouraging news for the company itself, but an unsettling message more broadly about the state of China. The maker of Tide detergent and Gillette razors on Wednesday said its organic sales, which strip out the impacts of currency movements and mergers, rose 7% from a year earlier in the three months through September. As has been the case in prior quarters, this was entirely thanks to price increases, as underlying volumes fell 1%.

REUTERS/Timothy Aeppel/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 18 (Reuters) - Procter & Gamble (PG.N) topped market expectations for quarterly sales and profit on Wednesday, benefiting from higher prices as well as steady demand for its personal care products and cleaning supplies. While P&G's moves to consistently raise prices over the past several months have dented sales volumes with some cost-conscious shoppers turning to cheaper alternatives, the benefits from higher prices have helped bolster its profits. Gross margin improved 460 basis points to 52% in the quarter ended Sept. 30 and the company kept its annual profit outlook despite expectations for a $1 billion after-tax impact from unfavorable foreign exchange rates. P&G now expects sales growth to be in the range of 2%-4% for fiscal 2024, compared to its prior estimate of a 3%-4% rise, owing to currency fluctuations. Per-share profit of $1.83 per share also beat expectations of $1.72.

The combination of high-pressure growth and U.S. crude oil prices back up to their highest in two weeks has re-ignited inflation concerns. And with a 20-year Treasury bond auction also due later in the day, bond markets are back running scared.
