Colgate-Palmolive (CL 1.07%) has achieved an impressive return in 2012, and there's good reason to believe the company will continue running in 2013.

With sector-leading gross margins, outsized exposure to high-growth emerging markets, a strong dividend, and an unbeatable brand, Colgate should put up another strong year of gains in 2013. See more in the following video with Foolish analyst Austin Smith.
