Colgate-Palmolive stock (ISIN US1941621039) was trading at EUR 83.33 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, 0.30 percent above the Xetra close of October 19, 2026 at EUR 83.08. The latest analyst signal came from Barclays, which assigned a Hold rating and a USD 87.00 price target on October 16, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Three dates shape the setup

On September 17, 2026, Colgate-Palmolive declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.53 per share, payable on November 13, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 20, 2026. The company had reported second-quarter net sales of USD 5.36 billion on July 31, 2026, up 4.90 percent year over year, while base business earnings per share rose 8.00 percent to USD 0.99, according to the Colgate-Palmolive investor news.

On October 15, 2026, UBS maintained a Buy rating and set a USD 106.00 target. On October 16, Barclays took the more cautious position with its USD 87.00 target. The gap between those targets gives the upcoming report added importance.

What does the USD 87 target imply?

The Barclays target sits below the UBS target, but both notes came before the next quarterly update. The latest reported quarter combined 4.90 percent sales growth with a 5.00 percent decline in GAAP earnings per share to USD 0.86, while adjusted base business earnings per share increased 8.00 percent to USD 0.99. That split leaves margins, pricing and demand in Colgate's oral care and pet nutrition businesses as key issues for the next release.

Results and dividend dates

The next scheduled event is the third-quarter 2026 earnings call on October 30, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET, as announced by Colgate-Palmolive. The October 20, 2026 record date for the USD 0.53 dividend is the other immediate date.

Stock holds above the Xetra close

The Lang & Schwarz indication places the stock at EUR 83.33, or 0.30 percent above the EUR 83.08 Xetra close of October 19, 2026. The same market data show a 52-week range of EUR 64.53 to EUR 85.00 and a market capitalization of EUR 66.3 billion as of October 20, 2026.
