Rating stays constructive

According to MarketBeat, Colgate-Palmolive carries a Moderate Buy rating, with 13 buy ratings, 6 hold ratings and no sell ratings. The same page puts the 12-month target at USD 99.00 and the high target at USD 110.00.

That leaves the stock in a fairly tight band. The shares ended the session between the 52-week low of USD 74.54 and the 52-week high of USD 99.33, so the current quote is still close to the upper end of the range.

Latest quarter still matters

MarketBeat says Colgate-Palmolive reported USD 0.99 in earnings per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, which was USD 0.04 above the USD 0.95 consensus estimate. The same page says revenue rose 4.9 percent year on year, while the company later declared a regular quarterly dividend, according to MarketBeat.

For investors, the mix is clear: earnings beat expectations, but the valuation remains elevated at a trailing P/E of 34.72. MarketBeat also shows a forward P/E of 22.61 and a dividend yield of 2.42 percent.

Stock near the ceiling
