OUR THIRD "SURVIVOR STOCK"

Like McDonald's, there's no hot story behind our next "survivor" stock

Today's survivor is Colgate-Palmolive (CL). With a $39 billion market cap, CL is one of America's producers of "the basics." Brands under this umbrella include Ajax (cleanser), Colgate (toothpaste), Irish Spring (soap), Speed Stick (deodorant), and, of course, Palmolive (dish soap).

Like most every stock, CL took a beating during the October 2008 market decline. Shares fell from the mid $70s to the mid $50s. But like McDonald's and Royal Gold, Colgate-Palmolive's business model allowed it to decline less than the broad market averages... And unlike the broad market, shares are near an all-time high.

Colgate-Palmolive also managed to keep up its incredible 46-year string of uninterrupted and rising dividend payments...

Best Dividend Stocks Shelling Out for 100-Plus Years: Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL)
Dividend Yield: 2.2%
Dividends Paid Since: 1895

Consumer goods powerhouse Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) is no slouch when it comes to raising dividends either: Its 51-year streak of boosting its dividend is second only to Coca-Cola.

Though a “Steady Eddie” from an income investor’s perspective, CL stock hasn’t been able to keep up with the S&P in the last one- and five-year periods.

Over the last year, Colgate shares are up just 1% vs. 12% for the benchmark index; over the last five, CL trails the S&P’s 78% return by a full 17 percentage points.

As with Procter & Gamble, much of this recent weakness comes from the strength of the dollar, so long-term investors can sleep comfortably knowing that reversion to the mean should eventually mean a weaker dollar that boosts results.

THIS 'BASICS' COMPANY MARCHES HIGHER

Today's chart is yet another reminder that "boring" often beats "exciting" in the stock market...

Regular readers know we like simple businesses that sell basic, everyday goods. Despite what many people think, one of the safest ways to build long-term wealth in the market is by investing in companies that sell things like laundry detergent and other items that you probably have in your medicine cabinet or pantry.

One of the best examples in recent years is Colgate-Palmolive (CL). Founded more than 200 years ago, the $67 billion giant employs nearly 40,000 people and sells its products in 223 countries. Its brands include Colgate toothpaste, Palmolive dish soap, and Speed Stick deodorant.

Selling the basics has made Colgate-Palmolive a cash-flow machine. It consistently grows its gross profits and margins... and has increased its dividend for 54 straight years. As you can see, shares are in a long-term uptrend, recently hitting a new all-time high. Investing in dish soap and deodorant might not be "exciting," but it works...

Colgate-Palmolive's sales miss estimates, shares slide

Jan 27 (Reuters) - Colgate-Palmolive Co reported lower-than-expected quarterly revenue, hurt by a strong dollar and weak demand for its products in Europe.

Shares of Colgate, which makes toothpaste, soaps and detergents, fell as much as 7 percent to $63.45 in early trading on Friday.

The company, which gets more than three-fourths of its revenue from outside the United States, has been raising prices to counter the impact of the stronger dollar.

Sales in the European market fell 7.5 percent in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, driven by volume declines in France, Colgate said.

Net revenue fell nearly 5 percent to $3.72 billion. Analysts on average had expected $3.87 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The company reported net income of $606 million, or 68 cents per share, compared with a loss of $458 million, or 51 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding certain items, Colgate earned 75 cents per share, in line with the average analysts' estimate.

Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL)

Colgate-Palmolive posted an earnings report today and CL was sent noticeably lower … 5.2% when all was said and done.

Colgate-Palmolive wasn’t even able to top its sales estimates. Income of 75 cents per share was in line with estimates, but revenue of $3.72 billion was not only down 5%, but missed expectations of $3.87 billion.

Weak demand from Europe was noted as the big headwind.

The pessimistic outlook for 2017 contributed to the selling that drove CL down on Friday. CEO Ian Cook said during the conference call, “I think it is safe to say that 2016 has been a year of growing uncertainty filled with unpredictable and disruptive events, especially in the fourth quarter.”

Translation: He’s only expecting low single-digit sales growth this year.
