In the list of companies making significant stock price moves, the first company is Colgate-Palmolive that has shown great performance. In the report, Colgate has revealed that has achieved earnings worth 81 cents per share in the premarket trading. However, the analysts had estimated that the company would achieve earnings of 79 cents per share. This means that the company has successfully beaten the estimations made by the analysts.
Colgate executives were really excited about the company being able to achieve such results. They stated that they were not sure whether they would be able to meet the estimations or not. The reason that led them to lose their confidence was the high costs of logistics and raw materials.
