Money,
You are correct about the PE being high for the industry. The brand and the moat are certainly there though.
I think that a prudent investor would look toward CLX or PG as better value plays.
Thanks for the comment.

Colgate is a great company, however the stock is currentyly expensive and I would argue that any earnings miss could rally bring this stock down hard. The P/E is 22x earnings. Compare that with CLX, KMB, or even PG.
