The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CL closes above its 50-day average ($89.68) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($89.75): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $97.37, CL is 2.0% below its 1-year high of $99.33, set on February 27, 2026, and 30.6% above its 1-year low of $74.55 (November 3, 2025).
- Over the past month CL rose 15.6%, from $84.26 to $97.37.
- CL trades at 37.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 23.7x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 59.5% higher.
- Its P/E is 53.3% above the 24.7x median of the 3 other household & personal products companies we track (PG, KMB, EL).
- CL's 30-day volatility, 27.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.7%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.31: over five years of monthly returns, CL moved about 0.31% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.5x CL's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $89.68 (−7.9%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 0.1% to cross the 200-day at $89.75.
- A close above $99.33 (+2.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $74.55 (−23.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under household & personal products among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for CL by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
