Procter & Gamble on Friday reported higher earnings fueled in part by an improved performance in China as it projected a lower hit from tariffs. The consumer products giant -- which announced a downsizing in non-manufacturing employment in June in the wake of the tariff onslaught -- now sees a hit of $500 million in fiscal 2026, down from an earlier forecast of $1 billion.
