Bull points

  • every enterprise market cluster has been performing very well. As you said, Asia, Middle East, Africa up 4%, Latin America up 5%. Europe enterprise markets up six. So it's encouraging to see the breadth and the consistency of the growth.
  • As we expected, we saw solid acceleration in top-line results in our fiscal third quarter.
  • Organic sales increased more than 3 percent versus the prior year. Volume increased two points, pricing was up a point, and mix was flat for the quarter.

Bear points

  • I think the pull forward, if anything, if you're a retailer and you're attuned to what's going on, you might have pulled in a little bit of inventory. But it's hard for us to to really quantify that. On the consumer side, no, nothing. I don't think the consumer is loading pantries at this point in time, nothing visible to us. So I think the consumption side is actually stable. I think the inventory side between, and again, I think IR will give you all the glory details between base periods and loading effects. But I wouldn't say the price-driven loading is the biggest part of it. I think it's just base period is a significant component of that.
  • Strong productivity improvement of 330 basis points was offset by healthy reinvestment in innovation and demand creation. Core growth margin was down 100 basis points, and cooperating margin was down 80 basis points versus prior years.
  • Thanks for the question, Kevin. Look, the honest answer I'll give you is I don't know. The second part of the answer is I don't really care. Um, not, not because I don't care about the financial impact, but what is more important is what are we doing within the activity system that drives top line growth and bottom line growth? That's what ultimately we want to drive. And then the growth margin and the margin are outcomes of that. So if we continue to drive great productivity, which we will check, if we continue to drive innovation, that's winning, even though it's gross margin dilutive check. If we continue to drive investment in the right trial driving activities on the sales deduct side, check. So if all of those things happen and the growth margin is down, I feel great about it because it will drive top line growth and it will drive earnings growth. We will not let growth margin dilute because we're not delivering productivity or we're investing in things that don't drive top line and underlying earnings growth. But where exactly that balance comes out for me is very hard to predict and honestly not that relevant as long as the underlying activity system does what we need it to do.
