Colgate-Palmolive Co. stock (NYSE: CL) has risen just 3% over the past month (21 trading days), underperforming the S&P 500 which was up almost 7%. If you look at the change over the last ten days as well, the stock has returned around 3%, roughly in line with the broader market. The company had reported mixed Q3 2021 earnings in late October, with revenue rising from $4.15 billion in Q3 ’21 to $4.41 billion in Q3 ’22. However, rising COGS and operating expenses, meant that operating income in fact shrank from $1.02 billion to $967 million over this period. Further, rising interest expenses outweighed a lower effective tax rate, leading to EPS dropping from $0.81 to $0.75 over this period.

Now, is CL stock set to build on its steady gains or could we expect a pullback? We believe that there is a decent 57% chance of a rise in CL stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last ten years.
