Proctor & Gamble

The Procter & Gamble Co. (PG)

Procter & Gamble Co has struggled in 2017, with shares only up 9 percent, under performing the S&P 500 Index by nearly five percentage points. It also got dragged into a proxy fight with activist investor Nelson Peltz and his firm Trian Partners.

But things get even worse, because over the past five years, the company's stock price has climbed only 32 percent, while the S&P 500 rose by nearly 76 percent. And Procter & Gamble shares do not come cheap, at 20.5 times one-year forward earnings.
