Being a publicly-traded company, Procter & Gamble pays dividends to shareholders. It’s worth mentioning that dividends have been rising for at least a decade. The dividends are in the top 75% of dividends paid by all US-listed companies.
Institutional investors own over 60% of outstanding PG shares. The ownership percentage is larger than for most firms operating in the household/personal care industry.

However, earnings and revenue have been mostly rising over the years. The company is considered effective at creating returns based on its assets, capital employed, and shareholder equity. Therefore, CFD trading may be more beneficial for dealing with the company’s stocks.
Procter & Gamble generates positive value in physical diseases, taxes, and jobs sectors. However, this value may be reached by a negative impact on GHG Emissions, scarce human capital, and waste categories.
Although P&G is a large corporation, it’s not a common participant in lawsuits and conflicts. Most court cases are related to consumer protection, environment, employment, safety, and financial offenses. Traders should consider ongoing lawsuits, as they may lead to large capital losses.

The Procter & Gamble Company was founded in October 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble with total assets of $7,192.24. Before the establishment of the joint venture, William Procter was a candle maker, and James Gamble was a soap maker.
Despite nationwide panic and depression, the young company managed to survive, as it was based in Cincinnati, a busy center of commerce and industry. Being a meat packing center and offering a huge amount of animal fat and oil for soap and candle making, it was a perfect place for the young business.
The business has been growing, and its product line has expanded significantly. Procter & Gamble introduced toothpaste, tea, coffee, and baking mixes. By the beginning of the 21st century, the company offered products in numerous areas, including health and wellness, house and home, personal and beauty, baby and family, and pet care.
It’s worth noticing that Procter & Gamble has been one of the leaders in the US national advertiser market and the leader in the issue of free samples and discount coupons. Today, the company owns at least 60 well-known global brands.
In 1890, Procter & Gamble decided to offer its shares to the market, so it went public. The company’s stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the #PG ticker. The stock price is attractive for both investors and traders. The company is included in many leading stock market indices, including S&P 500, Dow Jones, DJ Composite, and DJ US.
When trading PG stocks, consider the company’s financial data. Although the company’s earnings have grown at a slower pace than the US household & personal products industry average, the earnings and revenue growth have been accelerating.
Remember the company’s competitors: S.C. Johnson, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, and Clorox.
