• Fabric & Home Care — leading detergents, surface cleaners and air‑care products; about 36% of net sales.
• Baby, Feminine & Family Care — diapers, tissue and feminine products; about 24% of net sales.

Competitive Position

• Deep brand portfolio and advertising scale give strong consumer preference and pricing power across categories.^[3]
• Extensive global distribution, manufacturing scale and retail relationships create high barriers to entry for smaller rivals.^[3]

Investment Considerations

• Durable cash generation and shareholder returns: strong free‑cash‑flow profile supports dividends and buybacks, appealing to income‑oriented investors.^[2]
• Innovation and premiumization offer upside through higher‑margin product upgrades, but require continued brand investment and execution.^[4]
• Exposure to commodity costs, currency swings and trade/policy risks can pressure margins; these are highlighted in the company’s SEC risk disclosures.^[5]
• Competitive risks include private‑label and niche challenger brands that can erode volume in price‑sensitive markets; maintaining shelf presence and marketing efficiency is critical.^[4]
