"Negative Shareholder’s Equity – Colgate
Let us now have a look at the Shareholder’s Equity section of Colgate. Please note that Colgate is a profitable company with retained earnings of $19.9 billion in 2016.
Yet, its shareholder’s equity is negative due to two reasons –
Treasury Stock – As per its share repurchase plan, Colgate buybacks its share each year. we note that Colgate has bought $19.13 bn of common stock until 2016.
Accumulated other comprehensive income – This is another reason why Colgate’s shareholder’s equity is negative. Each year, there are other comprehensive losses that increase the losses even further."
