Colgate-Palmolive Company is currently running 27.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CL's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 94th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 15.9%.

CL is trading -8.8% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -16.0%, and the deepest was -25.3% in 2018. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +10.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 92nd percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year CL closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, CL finished the month higher 10 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.2% and an average of +2.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +2.3% on average, its weakest September at -2.0%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CL has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 27 of 3,268 sessions (0.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +4.7% and -6.4%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, CL moved an average of 1.9% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 4 times, with a median move of +0.5% and a largest of +2.9%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CL's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
