Procter & Gamble Co. said Tuesday it raised its quarterly
dividend to roughly 87 cents a share, a 10% increase compared with
the payout for the prior quarter.
The increase comes after the consumer products giant has
reported strong results during the pandemic, with demand for
beauty, health and grooming all gaining ground in the company's
fiscal second quarter that ended Dec. 31.
Overall for that period, Procter generated about $19.8 billion
in sales, up 8% year over year, and $3.9 billion in profit.
