Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog upgraded Procter & Gamble to Outperform from Market Perform and raised her price target to $115 from $91, telling investors that while she is "late to the game," she still sees upside and believes P&G has changed and management, led by CEO David Taylor, has infused a sense of urgency and accountability into the organization. Herzog says that while it "took awhile" for consistent results to show, fundamentals appear to have turned, and sees a potential upside surprise in the third quarter on both the top and bottom line. She also views P&G as one of the few Staples companies that will be able to consistently deliver accelerating organic sales growth while expanding margins at the same time.
