| About Colgate-Palmolive Co. |
| Colgate-Palmolive manufactures and markets a variety of products in the U.S. and around the world. Co. has two product segments: Oral, Personal and Home Care; and Pet Nutrition. Co.'s Oral, Personal and Home Care products include toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, pharmaceutical products, bar soaps and others. Through its Hill's Pet Nutrition segment (Hill's), Co. engages in specialty pet nutrition products for dogs and cats. Hill's markets pet foods under two brands: Hill's Science Diet, which is a range of products for everyday nutritional needs; and Hill's Prescription Diet, which is a range of therapeutic products to help nutritionally manage disease conditions in dogs and cats. We show 57 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our CL shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute CL market cap on those dates. Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing CL market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing CL's market cap history versus its peers. Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies, and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of CL versus a peer is one thing; comparing CL market cap versus a peer is a completely different story. Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares), the market cap for a company like CL can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching CL by allowing them to research the CL market cap history. |
