03:10 PM EDT, 10/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Colgate-Palmolive ( CL ) investors are expecting a "challenging" Q3 from an organic revenue perspective as category demand stays muted, UBS said in a Wednesday note.

The analysts said they believe that Colgate-Palmolive's ( CL ) challenges are not specific to the company and that much of the household consumer products sector likely faced similar issues in Q3 under a difficult operating environment.

UBS said it expects the company to post Q3 organic sales growth of 1.5% and earnings per share of $0.86, compared with the $0.89 average estimate of analysts polled by FactSet.

Regarding potential changes to the company's 2025 guidance, UBS said its base case is for Colgate-Palmolive ( CL ) to lower its organic sales growth range due to muted performance across several key markets.

Colgate-Palmolive ( CL ) is due to report Q3 results before market open on Oct. 31.

The investment firm has a buy rating on the stock with a $92 price target.
