Is Colgate-Palmolive Company stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Colgate-Palmolive Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Colgate-Palmolive Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's P/E ratio
Colgate-Palmolive Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 31x. In other words, Colgate-Palmolive Company shares trade at around 31x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's PEG ratio
Colgate-Palmolive Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1516. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Colgate-Palmolive Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's EBITDA
Colgate-Palmolive Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.7 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Colgate-Palmolive Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Colgate-Palmolive Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 58.33% of net profits
Recently Colgate-Palmolive Company has paid out, on average, around 58.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Colgate-Palmolive Company shareholders could enjoy a 2.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Colgate-Palmolive Company's case, that would currently equate to about $1.92 per share.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares ever split?
Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 May 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Colgate-Palmolive Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Colgate-Palmolive Company shares which in turn could have impacted Colgate-Palmolive Company's share price.
Colgate-Palmolive Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.3926 up to $99.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Colgate-Palmolive Company's is 0.383. This would suggest that Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
