Church & Dwight Co
About: Church & Dwight is the leading global producer of baking soda. Its portfolio extends beyond its legacy category to include laundry products, cat litter, oral care, deodorant, and nasal care, all sold under the Arm & Hammer brand. Its mix also includes Batiste, OxiClean, Vitafusion, Hero, and TheraBreath, which together with Arm & Hammer constitute around 70% of its annual sales and profits. Most recently, the firm announced the addition of Touchland, and its hand santizer business, to its fold. Even as it works to grow the reach of its products, Church & Dwight still derives around 80% of its sales from its home market in the US.

Church & Dwight Co.: Increasingly Difficult To Justify Valuation Premium
I maintain a hold rating on Church & Dwight Co. due to weak domestic performance, retailer destocking, and new tariff headwinds impacting growth prospects. CHD's 1Q25 results showed a 2.4% decline in net sales and a 1.2% decrease in organic sales, driven by a 1.4% volume drop. The deteriorating US consumer environment and retailer inventory reductions are significant headwinds, with no expected recovery in the near term.
