Find enclosed link for my working on Colgate for investor who hold shares since listing. The data is compiled from BSE and past annual reports. Amazing performance over 4 decades !!! Highest even return generation over 40 years. However, past is never indicator of future and hence it might be good to know it, one can not just blindly replicate same. One has to look at future prospect and valuation of company. I have bought Colgate in August 1994 for my uncle and have pretty mediocare return (comparable to fixed income) for almost two decades, despite good management and excellent market position, due to wrong entry price.
Happy Investing !!!
