Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openOhio's state employee pension fund opened a new position in Colgate-Palmolive during the second quarter, buying 304,120 shares worth about $27.88 million, according to its SEC disclosure of large holdings.
Colgate-Palmolive reported Q2 2026 results with higher net and organic sales, improved margins, and year-over-year gains in earnings and free cash flow. Notably, worldwide organic volume (units sold, not just prices) rose for the third straight quarter, meaning growth came from increased demand rather than pricing alone.
Colgate-Palmolive raised its 2026 profit outlook after second-quarter earnings beat expectations, with profit margins improving by 1.4 percentage points (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point). The company flagged higher costs and ongoing weakness in North America as risks.
Prabha Narasimhan, CEO of Colgate-Palmolive's India subsidiary, is being promoted to Executive Vice President of Marketing for the parent's Asia-Pacific division, effective September 27, 2026. Under her four-year tenure, Colgate-Palmolive India grew its premium portfolio at five times the pace of the broader market.
Colgate-Palmolive India is getting a new Managing Director and CEO: Manish Anandani will replace Prabha Narasimhan, who resigned from the role.
