I must say, it really doesn't surprise me to see the ongoing positive performance of Colgate-Palmolive.

If one looks at the table below, this company ticks so many of the boxes.
Its Bottom Line net profit may be slightly below target, and that may be due to the effect of its SG&A expense.

However, it has a great Pretax Return on the Capital it Employs as well as its ROE, a great EBITDA Margin of close to 26%, very little debt expense, and its Dividend growth of 56.4% over the last 4 years must certainly have been well appreciated by shareholders !!

The one thing that has always surprised me is the fact that Buffett doesn't have the company in his portfolio.
I would have thought that this one would be "a given" ....
