We also returned $. billion to shareholders through the repurchase of P&G stock. Based on our current market This strategy is fundamentally right for P&G because it inspires capitalization, dividends and share repurchase, we provided our people and our partners, focuses us where the growth shareholders with an effective cash yield of nearly %, with opportunities are greatest, and leverages our core strengths: additional potential for capital appreciation. consumer understanding, brand building, go-to-market capability, global scale and, most importantly, innovation.
