Colgate-Palmolive stock (ISIN US1941621039) last traded at USD 86.06 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, standing 0.87 percent above the prior close of USD 85.32. The latest corporate signal is a quarterly dividend of USD 0.53, declared on September 17, 2026 and payable November 13, 2026.
Dividend date sets the near term
According to Business Wire on September 17, 2026, shareholders of record on October 20, 2026 will receive the payment on November 13, 2026. Colgate-Palmolive has maintained uninterrupted common-stock dividends since 1895, giving the announcement a long historical record rather than a one-quarter event.
The stock's market capitalization was USD 68.9 billion on September 25, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 74.55 to USD 99.33, placing the latest price USD 13.27 below the yearly high and USD 11.51 above the low.
Q2 revenue reached USD 5.361 billion
Colgate-Palmolive reported USD 5.361 billion in net sales for Q2 2026, compared with USD 5.324 billion in Q1 2026. According to Colgate-Palmolive in its July 31, 2026 results release, net sales increased 4.9 percent year over year, organic sales rose 2.4 percent, and GAAP EPS declined 5 percent to USD 0.86. Base Business EPS increased 8 percent to USD 0.99, while gross margin reached 61.5 percent after a 140-basis-point improvement.
The earnings mix remains uneven. In the Q2 2026 call, Fortune reported that management highlighted emerging markets and Hill's Pet Nutrition as growth contributors, while North America faced retailer inventory reductions, market-share pressure and softer premium oral-care demand. Management also described second-half growth as more volume-driven and raised full-year gross-margin guidance to flat.
Analyst target stays above the quote
According to Investing.com on September 21, 2026, Piper Sandler cut its price target from USD 98 to USD 95 while keeping an Overweight rating. The new target stands 10.39 percent above the September 25 price.
A broader view from MarketBeat listed a 19-analyst average target of USD 98.94 on September 25, 2026, with a high of USD 110.00 and a low of USD 87.00. The range shows that the central debate is not the dividend itself, but whether international growth and margin execution can offset the weaker North American business.
Stock remains below its yearly high
Colgate-Palmolive stock last traded at USD 86.06 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with volume of 3,474,536 shares. The quotation was 13.37 percent below the 52-week high of USD 99.33, while the USD 0.53 dividend and Q2 gross-margin improvement provide the principal operating reference points for investors.
