PG and CHD battle for household dominance, with shifting demand, pricing power and strategy defining which name holds the edge.

Church & Dwight is upgraded from 'sell' to 'hold' after robust Q3 2025 results and improved operational momentum. CHD outperformed peers with 5% revenue growth, strong volume and pricing, and raised guidance for EPS and cash flow. The company demonstrated resilience through cost control, share buybacks, and successful integration of acquisitions, despite ongoing macro challenges.

Church & Dwight is upgraded from "Sell" to "Hold" as shares now reflect fair value after a 20% decline. CHD delivered strong Q3 results, with organic sales up 3.4%, market share gains, and impressive margin management despite tariff pressures. Robust free cash flow supports a secure 1.4% dividend and increased share buybacks, with further capital returns likely if shares remain below $100.
