I know there are a number who hold Unilever (ULVR) and accept the lower yield for the very strong business and dividend history. I have a number of US listed giants on my watch list with HL and have noticed a recent fall in the price of Procter & Gamble (PG) which now means it yields a touch more than ULVR, which itself has seen the yield rise recently due to both a rising dividend and falling share price. So I wondered if PG is an option anyone else is considering.
A brief pen portrait for PG is as follows:
PG is decribed as being in the Consumer Goods industry and within that the Personal Care Products / Appliances sector.
Market Capital $202bn (ULVR £103bn)
Yield 3.41% (ULVR 3.34%)
Dividend paid in everyone of the last 124 years
Dividend has been increased for the last 61 years
Dividend Growth over last 5 years 8.5% (ULVR 8.1%)
Free cashflow has exceeded dividend payout for last five years
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Re: Procter & Gamble a high yield option?
There is some activism going on which has seen the share price move about:

These consumer staples shares are on fairly high multiples and have single digit growth rates. I'm sure this will be OK but won't shoot out the lights.
There are a few old stalwarts in the US with high yields that are ex-growth e.g. IBM, GE, AT&T.

Once the US withholding tax is taken into account, that makes Unilever the better-yielding share for any UK shareholder who holds in an ISA, or unsheltered and covered by their personal allowance, their 'dividend allowance' and/or their basic-rate band. Proctor & Gamble wins on yield if it's held in a SIPP (*), or unsheltered and not covered by those allowances & band.
(*) That assumes that one's SIPP provider does do the necessary admin to get the dividends paid without deduction of the US withholding tax. I have no experience of the issue, so cannot comment on whether SIPP providers vary about doing it...

I do and can confirm HL does.
