  • Colgate Splits Stock, Raises Dividend 17%
    Colgate Splits Stock, Raises Dividend 17% New York, New York, March 6, 1997 . The Colgate-Palmolive Board of Directors today increased the quarterly stock dividend 17 percent and declared a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock. Reuben Mark, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "In 1996, Colgate achieved record sales and earnings, with all geographic divisions around the world contributing to the strong growth. Cash generation was also outstanding, setting an all- time record. Today's action demonstrates our confidence in the continued strong and profitable growth of Colgate's global business. With this latest increase, Colgate's dividend has grown at a compound rate of 16 percent over the past five years, supporting our firm commitment to increase shareholder value." The price of Colgate stock has appreciated 178 percent since the Company's last two-for-one split, on May 15, 1991, compared to a 118 percent climb for the S&P 500 during the same time period. The higher quarterly dividend of $.55 per pre-split share, up from $.47, is to be paid May 15, 1997 to shareholders of record as of April 25, 1997. On an annualized basis, the new rate is $2.20 per share (or $1.10 after the split). Record date for the two-for-one split is the close of business on April 25, 1997, with certificate distribution scheduled for May 15, 1997. As a result of the split, shareholders will receive one additional share of Colgate common stock for each share they hold as of the record date.

  • Colgate-Palmolive (India) 7 March 2014
    Institutional Equities Colgate-Palmolive (India) 7 March 2014 Reuters: COLG.BO; Bloomberg: CLGT IN A Reason To Smile BUY While competitive intensity will be high for Colgate-Palmolive (India), or CPIL, in the next couple of quarters, we believe the street fears on further escalation in advertising Sector: FMCG and promotional (A&P) spending are unlikely to come true. A&P is likely to increase CMP: Rs1,324 38% YoY and ~340bps to sales in FY14E over an already high base, resulting in a seven-year low EBITDA margin of 17.5% for the year. In the past 16 years, the A&P to Target price: Rs1,691 sales ratio has never been higher for CPIL, when not accompanied by sales decline. While absolute A&P expenditure is still expected to grow in double-digits over FY14E- Upside: 28% FY16E, we expect the A&P to sales ratio to decline, unlike the Bloomberg consensus view. If CPIL maintains its phenomenal performance of rising market share as well as Krishnan Sambamoorthy volume growth, which was witnessed in the past two quarters, despite extreme [email protected] competition, earnings growth will be sharp. We expect EBITDA margin recovery of +91-22-3926 8033 ~500bps over FY14E-FY16E from sustained premiumisation, operating leverage due to healthy sales growth and a decline in the A&P to sales ratio. Our EPS forecast is Saiprasad Prabhu higher than Bloomberg Consensus by 4.7% for FY15E and 15.6% for FY16E. [email protected] Strong track record, entry barriers: CPIL’s volume growth at close to double-digit YoY for +91-22-3926 8172 23 consecutive quarters is not only unparalleled among fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) peers, but it is also sustaining this level, which is remarkable given the sharp slowdown witnessed by FMCG peers.
