CL raised its 2026 profit outlook after a Q2 earnings beat and 140-basis-point margin gain, while higher costs and North America remain risks.
CL enters the second half with better volumes, resilient margins and a higher earnings outlook, but rich valuation and U.S. weakness temper the upside.
CL slips below its 50-day SMA as U.S. softness, competition and rising costs weigh despite solid Q2 growth and global momentum.
