Colgate-Palmolive CEO said that the company will face a very turbulent situation by 2025.

Colgate-Palmolive CEO Noel Wallace stated during a conference call with analysts that the company is facing a very turbulent operating environment in 2025, characterized by category growth lower than expected, raw material price increases higher than expected, and the impact of tariff increases. Despite these challenges, the manufacturer of Ajax and Softsoap achieved sales and profit growth. Wallace said, "I believe that in such a turbulent year we were able to achieve growth in earnings per share in dollars, which shows that the flexibility and resilience we have built into our operating model is effectively creating value for shareholders." Colgate-Palmolive's stock price rose 2.7% in pre-market trading.
