Colgate-Palmolive stock closed at USD 88.80 on the NYSE on September 4, 2026, slipping 0.3 percent from the prior session as investors digested coming changes to the S&P 100 index.

September 4, 2026 in numbers

Colgate-Palmolive Company (ISIN US1941621039, NYSE: CL) traded between an intraday low of USD 88.66 and a high of USD 90.54 on September 4, 2026, before settling at USD 88.80 at the close. Market data show that roughly 4.10 million shares changed hands that day, a touch above the 3.97 million share average volume quoted for the stock, signaling slightly elevated activity around the index news. According to MarketBeat, the company’s twelve month trading range currently runs from USD 74.54 to USD 99.33, meaning the September 4 close stood about USD 14.26 above the one year low and USD 10.53 below the one year high. In comparison, the S&P 100 ETF tied to the index delivered a 19.56 percent one year return through September 4, 2026, highlighting that Colgate-Palmolive’s stock has lagged the broader blue chip benchmark over the same period.

The session’s tone was shaped by index news rather than fresh fundamentals. S&P Dow Jones Indices announced on September 4, 2026 that Colgate-Palmolive will be removed from the S&P 100 as part of a reshuffle that trades several consumer and property names for technology stocks linked to artificial intelligence capital spending. The reconstitution will see Colgate-Palmolive exit the index while stocks such as Dell Technologies and Palo Alto Networks are added, a change that can affect passive fund holdings and cause repositioning among investors tracking the benchmark. Commentary from INDmoney noted that Colgate-Palmolive’s price of USD 88.77 around that time left the shares modestly lower as those reshuffle headlines circulated, underlining the index decision as a key driver of recent trading.

Index reshuffle and macro cues today

Today, attention around Colgate-Palmolive focuses on the upcoming S&P 100 changes, which were announced on September 4, 2026 and are scheduled to take effect before trading opens on September 21, 2026, giving portfolio managers time to adjust positions in advance. Earnings calendars and recent filings do not flag a new quarterly report or dividend event for Colgate-Palmolive on September 8, 2026, so trading is likely to be shaped more by flows tied to passive strategies and by broader consumer staples sentiment than by stock-specific news. At the same time, macro conditions remain relevant: the S&P 100’s strong one year gain through September 4, 2026 underscores persistent investor preference for large cap exposure, while changes in interest rate expectations and household spending indicators can sway demand for defensive consumer names such as Colgate-Palmolive. For index trackers and long term holders, today’s pre-market phase offers a chance to weigh the impact of the coming benchmark exit against the stock’s valuation and its position between the twelve month low and high.
