Colgate-Palmolive's 130-year dividend streak faces challenges amid North America decline and high valuation.

Colgate-Palmolive has paid dividends continuously since 1895 and recently extended its annual dividend increase streak to 63 years. Despite strong dividend coverage and global market leadership, its North American business is shrinking, creating growth challenges. The stock trades at a premium valuation with a forward P/E of 21, reflecting high expectations. Investors should watch if North America stabilizes and organic growth improves, as the current valuation leaves little room for error despite a safe dividend and mid-single-digit EPS growth guidance.

Colgate-Palmolive trades at USD 86.06 on Pluang as of Sep 27, 2026 19:11 WIB, up 0.87% for the day. The stock's dividend yield stands at 2.46%, with a market cap of $68.60 billion. Investors see a premium valuation despite the company's growth challenges in North America.
