Colgate-Palmolive: Brushing Off Big Returns
CL
Published: July 14, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Colgate-Palmolive's growth is lackluster, with long-term sales and earnings barely keeping pace with inflation and operating margins trending downward. The stock's valuation is unattractive, trading at 22.5–26x FCF, offering little margin of safety given its weak growth profile and operational concerns. Recent cash flow strength is largely due to stretched payables, not genuine business improvement, while inventory turnover and liquidity ratios are deteriorating.

I rate Colgate-Palmolive a 'Strong Buy' with a fair value of $117, driven by strong brands and global market leadership. The Hill's Pet Nutrition segment is a key growth driver, benefiting from rising pet ownership and millennial demand. Despite a slow growth year in FY25, due to weak consumption and tariff uncertainty, I expect normalization and margin expansion from FY26 onward.
