Procter & Gamble
The AI Factory covers 80% of global operations and still targets $1.5B a year in AI-specific gross productivity savings, unchanged. FY2026, which ended in June and was reported in early August, delivered $2.8B of before-tax productivity savings across cost of goods and SG&A combined - a company-wide figure that is not AI-isolated, so it does not move the score. Management reaffirmed AI-enabled Supply Chain 3.0 and automated brand-building as FY2027 priorities without attaching a new AI-specific number. AI ad testing still cuts cost roughly 90% and compresses turnaround from months to days.
Scenarios
Brand portfolio with decades of consumer data is richest training set in CPG. AI-optimized marketing flywheel compounds faster iteration than competitors.
Physical product moats are not AI-dependent — AI primarily defends margins. Private label AI-optimized CPG from retailers threatens category share.
