The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s recent Mad Money game plan. Cramer said that it is “too soon for a turnaround” as he commented:
Finally, on Friday, we hear from Procter & Gamble’s new CEO, and I think the quarter’s going to be weak. The last couple of quarters were not so hot. It’s too soon for a turnaround, too soon. But I like the stock very much as a hedge on a slowdown. It’s as cheap as I’ve seen it in years, which is why we own it for the Trust.

The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) provides branded consumer goods across beauty, grooming, health care, home care, and family care. The company sells its products through renowned names such as Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Crest, Olay, and Febreze. During the episode aired on January 22, Cramer mentioned the company and said:
… I think most importantly, I liked this new Procter management, including the new CEO, Shailesh Jejurikar. And I gotta tell you, I was blown away by some of the things that he said about what happened in this very quarter and his full investment in the business… Look, it really helps that it, I think Procter’s pulling away from its competitors while putting the company in a position to take market share so they can do even better when the industry bounces back… So let me give you the bottom line here: Even though Procter’s quarter was not so hot, this was a stock that most people on Wall Street had given up on. So even mediocre results were enough to send the stock flying today. And look, when a stock rallies on a seemingly disappointing quarter, it’s a textbook tell that it’s got a lot more room to run. I’m glad we bought this one ahead for the Charitable Trust…
We picked the stock of Procter & Gamble for the trust because it has a long history of innovation, improvement, and execution. We knew it had a solid dividend, one of the best dividends in the entire market, serves as a trampoline if the stock goes low enough. Before the quarter’s release, Procter had been adamant that they were going to miss the numbers. It was very well telegraphed. The disappointment occurred beforehand… So when we saw the numbers today, it didn’t matter. Best of all, Procter has a new CEO. This would be his inaugural quarter, so he didn’t own the previous CEO’s mistakes.
