Colgate-Palmolive Company (ISIN US1941621039) traded at USD 87.47 on September 21, 2026, while Piper Sandler lowered its price target to USD 95 from USD 98 and maintained an Overweight rating, according to Investing.com on September 21, 2026. The revised target remains USD 7.53 above that quoted price.

Piper Sandler cuts target

Investing.com reported on September 21, 2026 that Piper Sandler reduced the target from USD 98 to USD 95 while keeping the Overweight rating. The report cited cost pressures and difficulties in the North American business, including soft consumer demand and higher competition.

The target revision changes the near-term valuation reference by USD 3, or 3.06 percent, while the rating stayed unchanged. That combination points to a more cautious earnings framework rather than a complete reversal of the analyst view.

Stock remains below target

A separate report from Financial Modeling Prep on September 21, 2026 placed Colgate-Palmolive's market capitalization at about USD 69.99 billion and listed a 52-week range of USD 74.55 to USD 99.33. The USD 87.47 price was therefore USD 11.86 below the reported 52-week high and USD 12.92 above the low.

The same report described the revised USD 95 target as approximately 8.61 percent above the quoted USD 87.47 price. For investors, the central issue is the gap between the valuation target and the operating concerns cited for North America.
