Continuing my investment in Colgate—which has been underperforming since 2 years—has been a very painful experience. I still have my conviction on this stock after five years, albeit it is now on shaky ground. The only saving grace for me has been the dividend yield at cost which is at 1.3%. Compared to Nifty 50 index the XIRR has underperformed by a good 15%. Ouch!
Hoping that next year I write about ‘Six years as shareholder of Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited’.
