that's a lot at the same time, proctor, voracious buyer of their own shares management says they planillion worth in fiscal year 2022. at the end of last year, the company had $24 billion in net debt that sounds like a lot, but it's nothing compare today the $370 billion market capitalization, and they're on track for earnings in the fiscal year which ends in june put it together and you can understand why praocter & gamble's credit rating is just a share below that of the united states the company gets half of its sales from the u.s., 22% coming from europe, 9% from asia pacific, and the rest coming from emerging markets like china, 10%, latin america, 6%, in short, proctor is the potential upside in the faster growing markets but they're not too exposed to any region which means no high inflation can really hurt them china was flat last year because of the covid restrictions. that didn't stop the company from generating 6 % organic revenue growth i remember when unilever used to own these emerging markets now it's proctor you're getting the stock down $10 from its highs in late janu
