Colgate-Palmolive Faced Very Volatile 2025, CEO Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-30 22:21

0921 ET - Colgate-Palmolive faced a very volatile operating environment in 2025, marked by lower-than-expected category growth, higher-than-anticipated raw-material inflation and the impact of higher tariffs, CEO Noel Wallace says on a call with analysts. Despite these challenges, the maker of Ajax and Softsoap notched sales and earnings growth. "I believe our ability to deliver dollar-based earnings per share growth in a year with that much volatility is a sign that the flexibility and resilience we have built into our operating model is working effectively to drive value for our shareholders," Wallace says. Colgate-Palmolive climbs 2.7% premarket. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
