Wells Fargo trims its valuation view

The target reduction puts the latest analyst action below the broader consensus cited by MarketBeat. Its report lists an average target of USD 98.65 and a Moderate Buy consensus across 21 analysts, although those figures are separate from Wells Fargo's equal weight assessment.

The USD 90.00 target is 14.29 percent above the Lang & Schwarz euro quote only if currencies are converted, so no cross-currency distance is used here. The separate USD comparison remains clear: MarketBeat reported the Wells Fargo move from USD 95.00 to USD 90.00 on October 5, 2026.

Quarterly earnings provide support

Colgate-Palmolive's second-quarter 2026 results supplied a stronger operating reference. MarketBeat reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.99 against USD 0.95 consensus and revenue of USD 5.36 billion. Revenue increased 4.90 percent year over year, while the earnings comparison was USD 0.04 per share above expectations.

The earnings figures matter because the target cut came alongside evidence of quarterly execution. MarketBeat also reported a 9.68 percent net margin for the quarter, giving investors a profitability measure alongside the revenue and earnings-per-share comparisons.

Stock remains below its yearly high
