In the past six months (March-September 2026), Colgate-Palmolive's stock increased by 10.22% but decreased by 4.82% in the most recent month. In late March 2026, the stock was downgraded to a 'Hold' rating with its price target reduced from $96.00 to $85.00, attributed to challenges in offsetting rising resin costs exacerbated by the Iran conflict, leading to downward revisions in earnings estimates. On September 17, 2026, the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.53 per share. In September 2026, it was reported that Colgate-Palmolive is considering divesting some personal care brands, including Softsoap, Irish Spring, and Speed Stick, in a potential US$1 billion offload to focus on core, higher-margin businesses.
