The analysts suggest buying the April $67.50 call for $0.79. The Procter & Gamble Company is focused on providing consumer packaged goods. The company's products are sold in more than 180 countries primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores and high-frequency stores, the neighborhood stores, which serve many consumers in developing markets.
