PG Total Return Analyzer

What does the PG total return include?

PG total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from PG over the holding period, and the change in NAV (share price) across the same window. Many high-yield funds advertise distribution rates that look spectacular in isolation but mask meaningful NAV erosion. The analyzer above shows exactly how much of your PG return came from distributions versus price change — a 50% annualized distribution rate paired with a 30% NAV decline is a very different investment than a 50% distribution with flat NAV.

The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) is issued by Procter & Gamble. Dividend King with 70 consecutive years of dividend increases — one of just five U.S. companies to cross the 70-year mark. P&G has paid a dividend every year since 1890 (over 135 consecutive years) and owns a portfolio of defensive consumer staples brands including Tide, Pampers, Gillette, Crest, and Bounty. Quarterly payer with an annual dividend raise typically announced in April; forward yield around 3% and payout ratio near 60%. That strategy directly shapes the gap between headline yield and real yield: option-premium and covered-call funds tend to show large gaps, while traditional dividend ETFs and index funds usually show small ones.
