Colgate-Palmolive reported Q1 earnings that beat analyst expectations. The company achieved a profit per share of $0.97, exceeding the FactSet estimate of $0.96. Revenue also beat forecasts. Earnings and revenue beat was partly due to strong Q1 performance which allowed the company to maintain its full-year guidance.

Colgate-Palmolive achieved a profit per share of $0.97, surpassing the FactSet estimate of $0.96 for the first quarter,. Analysts had expected the company to miss earnings by 3 cents per share based on the initial earnings call results.

However, the company did see a miss in its net income due to top line and full-year margin outlook concerns. Despite the earnings beat, Colgate-Palmolive's shares rose after the release due to the strong Q1 performance.

The solid results enabled Colgate-Palmolive to maintain its full-year guidance, which analysts and investors will be watching closely. Given their full-year guidance, this solid quarter will contribute to their strong outlook.
