Investors should now consider building a position in Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE: PG) that’s about flat for the year at writing, says Jim Cramer.
Jim Cramer shares his view on Procter & GambleLast month, the consumer goods company reported market-beating results for its fiscal first quarter but said currency headwinds will weigh on sales growth in fiscal 2024.

The dollar is sinking like a stone … so, you buy P&G and just ride it. Procter & Gamble is so much better than it used to be.
His view is in line with Wall Street that also currently rates the NYSE stock at “overweight”.

Cramer is constructive also because he expects a continued deceleration in commodity costs to be a meaningful benefit for Procter & Gamble in which his Charitable Trust does have a stake.

Procter & Gamble is attractive also because it pays a dividend yield of 2.46%. Its guidance for fiscal 2024 currently sits at a 2.0% to 4.0% increase in revenue.
