Jefferies analyst Kevin Grundy continues to recommend shares of Procter & Gamble as core Staples holding following "upbeat" meetings with management. Trian's involvement, while a distraction, has raised the execution bar, Grundy tells investors in a research note. The analyst notes that the company sees little merit in adding Trian to the board. Grundy believes P&G's structural and portfolio changes are "bearing fruit" and that shares offer multiple expansion potential from current levels. He keeps a Buy rating on the shares with a $103 price target.
