Insights

Insider trading and governance analyst

CEO reports planned share sale while retaining substantial direct and indirect holdings.

The filing shows Colgate-Palmolive CEO Noel R. Wallace sold 45,568 common shares on February 4, 2026 at a weighted average price of $93.9145 per share, executed across multiple trades in a narrow price range.

Following the transaction, he still directly holds 293,188 shares, plus indirect interests of 54,281 shares via the issuer’s 401(k) plan trustee, 52,000 shares via a spouse trust, and 335 shares via another trust. The form does not indicate changes to his roles as Chairman, President and CEO.

The price footnote clarifies that the sale comprised multiple executions between $93.74 and $94.17. Overall, this appears as a standard insider sale disclosure rather than a change in governance or strategy; future SEC ownership reports will provide any updated positioning.
