In the last 1 year, Procter & Gamble Health has underperformed the market, with a return of only 2.50% compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 37.74%. Majority of the company's shareholders are promoters, indicating their confidence in the company's future prospects. Overall, while the stock may not have a strong growth potential, it may be a good option for investors looking for a stable and reliable investment in the pharma industry.
