Colgate-Palmolive Co. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $77.91

Colgate-Palmolive Co. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 77.91 as of October 3, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 16.93% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.82% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 119,889 million, categorizing it as a large-cap entity within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Colgate-Palmolive's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is currently at 41.00, indicating a premium valuation compared to its industry peers. The company also offers a dividend yield of 1.39%, appealing to income-focused investors.

Despite the recent price drop, Colgate-Palmolive has reported an increase in profits by 11.6% over the past year. However, its return on equity (ROE) is notably high at 447.93%, and the company has a price-to-book ratio of 170.78. The stock's performance metrics indicate a challenging environment, with low inventory turnover and debtor turnover ratios, reflecting operational dynamics that may warrant further scrutiny.
