Q2 2026 set the highs in the table for both EPS and revenue. The low was $0.72 per share, in Q2 2022. Over the last 20 quarters, Colgate-Palmolive topped the EPS estimate 19 times. The only miss was Q1 2022, at 0.60% below.

Colgate-Palmolive reported Q3 between October 25 and October 31 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year growth seen in recent quarters continues.
