Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) forecast
Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) forecast: price $96.97, trailing P/E 36.71, forward P/E 25.13. How to read the street's path.
The live CL price is $96.97. Trailing P/E is 36.71 and forward P/E is 25.13. The forecast that matters is the earnings path those ratios imply, not a single target price.
A forward P/E below the trailing P/E means the consensus expects earnings to rise. The reverse means the market is looking at a peak. Neither is a schedule. Analyst targets are useful as a range of models. They are not a contract. Discounted cash flow is the long form: cash flows, a discount rate, and a terminal value you can argue with.
