Consistent EPS Surprises
Colgate-Palmolive (CL) has exceeded earnings per share (EPS) estimates in each of the last twelve quarters, with an average surprise of 3.83%. This demonstrates consistent operational execution and effective management.
Reasonable P/E Ratio Relative to Peers
The trailing P/E ratio of 25.06 is within a reasonable range compared to its historical averages and industry peers, suggesting the stock is not excessively overvalued given its market position.
Increasing P/E Ratio Over Time
The trailing P/E ratio has generally trended upwards from 25.06 to 33.1 (TTM), which, without commensurate earnings growth, could signal that the stock is becoming expensive relative to its earnings.
Slowing Revenue Growth
While revenue for 2024 ($20.10 billion) is higher than 2023 ($19.46 billion), the year-over-year growth rate appears to be slowing, which could indicate market saturation or increased competition.
