Colgate-Palmolive beats quarterly estimates on steady demand for essentials
-Colgate-Palmolive beat first-quarter sales and profit estimates on Friday, as resilient demand for its essentials such as oral and personal care products overcame rising prices and tariff uncertainties. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Colgate-Palmolive joined peers such as Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark in posting upbeat sales growth, unlike the broader retail sector that has been struggling with a slowdown in discretionary spending. The Trump administration's shifting trade policies have forced several companies to hike prices, pushing shoppers to focus on essentials. CONTEXT Colgate has raised prices over the past few quarters to counter tariff impacts and higher advertising and marketing costs. The marketing campaigns have helped increase the sales. The company, which makes U.S. toothpaste in Mexico, now expects incremental costs from tariffs to be about $75 million, lower than $200 million projected earlier, as it expects more favorable rates. It also outlined a five-year cost cutting plan. BY THE NUMBERS Sales rose 8% in Africa and 7.8% in Europe from a year ago. The company expects organic sales growth to be at the low end of its forecast range of 2% to 4%. Its prices rose 2% in the quarter ended June 30 and total organic volumes slipped 0.2%, compared with a year ago. Colgate-Palmolive's adjusted profit of 92 cents per share in the first quarter topped analysts' estimates of 90 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. It posted quarterly net sales of $5.11 billion, beating estimates of $5.03 billion. MARKET REACTION Shares of the company were flat in premarket trading.

Trump Unleashes Massive Tariffs on Swiss Watches, Pharma Firms
(Bloomberg) — Switzerland's exporters, from watch makers to pharmaceutical companies, are bracing for the financial fallout from US President Donald Trump's 39% tariffs, one of the steepest rates globally in his escalating trade war. The World's Data Center Capital Has Residents Surrounded An Abandoned Art-Deco Landmark in Buffalo Awaits Revival We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus The levies slapped on Switzerland are part of a slew of new tariffs unveiled by Trump late Thursday as the US president forges ahead with his effort to reshape international commerce. The country exported $60.9 billion worth of goods to the US in 2024, according to the IMD Business School in Lausanne, making it one of the biggest US trading partners. Leading products included pharmaceuticals, watches, medical devices and Nestle SA's Nespresso coffee. With a national holiday in Switzerland on Friday, UK-traded Rolex reseller Watches of Switzerland Group Plc became a proxy for Swiss tariff woes, with its shares falling as much as 9.2% in London. Zurich-Listed timepiece makers such as Richemont and Swatch Group AG are also threatened by the move. Two other pillars of Swiss industry, pharmaceutical companies Novartis AG and Roche Holding AG, have also been hit by an additional tariff shock, even as they were among 17 of the world's largest drugmakers to receive letters from Trump insisting they immediately lower US pricing. The tariffs 'threaten Switzerland with enormous economic damage,' Interpharma, the association of drug research companies in the country, said. The US move affects research-based pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland, it said, calling on the local industry to 'urgently' improve its own framework to 'ensure that investments in research and development of innovative medicines are maintained.' Chocolate, Coffee Many other large Swiss companies studied the potential impact of the tariffs, with Nestle and chocolate maker Lindt saying they'll be mostly spared. Although it exports Nespresso to the US, Nestle said it makes more than 90% of the products it sells there locally. Lindt also produces mostly locally. But for watch makers — the country's most prized consumer export — the impending tariffs are likely to bring a long-lasting impact, even if they don't immediately rush to raise prices, said Christy Davis, founder of London-based Subdial, a watch dealer and trading platform. 'Swiss brands are coming to terms with the fact that the landscape has changed,' Davis said. The duties would come on top of a slump in global demand, rising metal costs and a strong Swiss franc that have hit timepiece makers hard — the US is the biggest market for Swiss watch exports. 'Severe Blow' Switzerland's luxury watch industry was already struggling before this 'severe blow' from Trump, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Deborah Aitken and Andrea Ferdinando Leggieri. Watches of Switzerland will inevitably come under revenue and earnings pressure while Richemont and Swatch will need mid-single-digit price increases, the analysts wrote in a note Friday. A spokesperson for the company said it will continue to work closely with brand partners to mitigate any potential impact. Swatch declined to comment, while Richemont didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Watches of Switzerland shares are down 22% over the past 12 months. Swiss watch exports had been hit in advance of the latest news, briefly surging in the spring as importers tried to get in ahead of the tariffs when Trump threatened a 31% levy, then easing on hopes of a settlement at a lower rate. Exports dropped by almost 10% in May, led by a slump in shipments to the US. The tariffs are the latest blow to the watch industry as demand for luxury has been declining with reduced appetite particularly in China, changing consumer trends and uncertainty from Trump's tariff wars. Sales of expensive timepieces have weakened since the post-pandemic boom ended and prices of used luxury watches surged. Swiss watch companies also struggled with high metals prices last year and a number of them turned to a government-backed furlough program called short-time work to help see them through. The industry has also been struggling with the strength of the Swiss franc. If the 39% tariff goes ahead, it could require price increases of more than 20% in the US, according to Jefferies analysts led by James Grzinic. There's also a possibility that the levies don't go into effect. 'The one-week hiatus until implementation suggests this could be a negotiating tactic,' he said in a note. —With assistance from Tim Loh, Jennifer Creery, Angelina Rascouet and Paula Doenecke.

CNH Industrial posts upbeat results as cost-cuts cushion slump in equipment demand
(Reuters) -Farm and construction equipment maker CNH Industrial reported second-quarter profit and revenue above Wall Street estimates on Friday, as its ongoing effort to reduce costs helped offset pressures from lower sales and production. The Basildon, UK-based company has been producing tractors and combines below retail demand to reduce excess dealer inventories, as it manages through a cyclical period of lower sales – a strategy also adopted by peers Deere, AGCO and Caterpillar. CNH expects 2025 sales to drop below last year's levels and warns that, combined with reduced production, this will likely put further pressure on its margins. However, its efforts to reduce costs will partially mitigate the erosion. Demand for new equipment has taken a hit from a prolonged weakness in farmer income and weak commodity prices, prompting manufacturers to scale back production as farmers postpone or reassess major purchase decisions. Shares of the company, famous for its Case IH and New Holland brands, rose 1.6% in pre-market trading. They have risen more than 14% since the start of the year. CNH reported an adjusted profit of 17 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, above analysts' expectations of 14 cents per share, according to data complied by LSEG. Its total costs and expenses in the reported quarter dropped to $4.43 billion, from $5.03 billion last year. Quarterly revenue fell 14% to $4.71 billion, but was above analysts' estimates of $4.17 billion. The company reaffirmed its full-year outlook, but cautioned that ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy, potential responses from global trading partners, and their broader impacts could influence its projections.
