    I did Research on Colgate Palmolive:-
    Net income and Diluted earnings per share in second quarter 2017 were $524 million.Gross profit margin was 60.1% in second quarter 2017. Operating profit decreased to $853 million in second quarter 2017 compared to $944 million in second quarter 2016. Excluding charges resulting from the 2012 Restructuring Program in both periods, Operating profit was $995 million in second quarter 2017, a decrease of 1% versus second quarter 2016. Operating profit margin was 22.3% in second quarter 2017 versus 24.6% in second quarter 2016. Excluding charges resulting from the 2012 Restructuring Program in both periods, Operating profit margin was 26.0% in second quarter 2017, a decrease of 10 basis points versus the year ago quarter.
    I don’t think currently Colgate is doing that well in the market Net sales declined 0.5% and organic sales were even with the year ago quarter.
