Are you worried that Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) has become too big, too old, and too unfocused for its own good? It's not an uncommon concern.
There comes a point when a company's size and age can become more of a liability than a benefit. That was certainly the focus of the company's 2017 proxy fight with activist investor Nelson Peltz, who wanted to split P&G into three different companies that would each be more regionally minded as well as (hopefully) more innovative.
That obviously didn't happen, but maybe it was never needed. P&G is doing just fine in its most important markets. Conversely, most product categories where it's not a decided market leader aren't major opportunities anyway.
