Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
As of FY2026 Q1, the Tellvest earnings-call sentiment score for Colgate-Palmolive (CL) is 7/10.
Colgate-Palmolive delivered strong net and organic sales growth in Q1, with emerging market-led acceleration and Asia Pacific volume showing China recovery signs. However, an additional $300 million in raw material and logistics cost inflation forced a gross margin guidance reduction from up year-over-year to down, while EPS and organic sales guidance were maintained. The SGPP restructuring program was expanded with a $200-300 million savings target, and Hill's continued its strong performance excluding private label.
