Our model assigns CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ a Hold rating, with a composite score of 58.9/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #794 of 7,333 stocks, CHD presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 62/100, CHD shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 13.0% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 44.5% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of 8.6% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
CHD's value score of 61/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 47.08x, an EV/EBITDA of 36.94x, a P/B ratio of 6.10x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/'s investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 4.9% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of 5.8% (sector: -0.1%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
CHD is currently showing below-average momentum at 46/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 4.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.04 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ earns an excellent stability score of 93/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.04 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 55.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
CHD carries a short interest score of 61/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 55.00x). At $21.3B market cap (large-cap), CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
CHD offers a modest dividend yield of 1.3%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #794 of 7,333 overall (89th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 13.0% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of 11.9% above the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While CHD currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ (CHD) as a Hold with a composite score of 58.9/100 at a current price of $105.10. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in stability (93th percentile) and quality (62th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (33th percentile) and momentum (46th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Narrow Moat rating (66/100), Low uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation.
Key items to watch: quarterly earnings execution and sector-level competitive dynamics. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 58.9/100 places it at rank #794 in our full 7,333-stock universe. With a $21.3B market capitalization, CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ operates at meaningful scale within the Manufacturing sector, providing competitive advantages in distribution, procurement, and customer reach.
Revenue is growing at 5%, though momentum at the 46th percentile suggests the market has not yet fully recognized this trajectory. This potential disconnect between fundamental improvement and market recognition could represent an opportunity for patient investors if the growth trend persists.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 45% (+2.0pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 12% (+10.6pp vs sector) and net margins of 8.6%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 19%. This conversion rate is typical for the sector, suggesting a standard cost structure without notable efficiency advantages or disadvantages.
At a current price of $105.10, CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 61/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 47.1x (a 112% premium to the sector median of 22.3x), EV/EBITDA of 36.9x (at a premium), P/B of 6.1x, P/S of 4.0x. The above-sector P/E multiple suggests the market is pricing in superior growth or quality, which our analysis partially supports given strong quality metrics.
Gross margins of 45% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
A P/E of 47.1x leaves little room for execution misses — any earnings disappointment could trigger a sharp multiple compression.
We assign a Low uncertainty rating to CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/. The company exhibits strong financial stability with a beta of 0.04, and a stability factor in the 93th percentile. The predictable nature of the business model and solid financial position reduce the range of potential outcomes, giving us confidence in our fair value estimate.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: low beta of 0.04 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets; elevated valuation multiple (P/E 47.1x) that leaves limited margin for error. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 93th percentile and quality factor at the 62th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 45% provide a buffer against cost pressures; above-average stability (93th percentile) suggests predictable business dynamics. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/'s capital allocation as Standard. Management has shown adequate — though not exceptional — stewardship of shareholder capital. Returns on equity stand at 13.0%, and the balance sheet is managed within acceptable parameters (D/E: 55%). Exemplary allocators typically sustain ROE above 20% and D/E below 50%; CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ falls short on at least one dimension.
There is room for improvement in optimizing the capital structure or enhancing shareholder returns. The 1.33% dividend yield provides some income return, but the overall capital allocation framework would benefit from either higher reinvestment returns, improved balance sheet efficiency, or increased shareholder distributions. We will monitor for signs of strategic improvement that could warrant an upgrade.
In summary, CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 58.9/100 (rank #794 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Narrow Moat (66/100, trend: stable), Low uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 59/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We assign CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ a Narrow Moat rating with a composite moat score of 66/100. The ROIC-WACC spread of +34.8% is the primary signal of economic value creation. The company possesses identifiable competitive advantages, though they are less entrenched than those of wide-moat peers. Our analysis indicates that CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ can sustain above-average returns on invested capital for at least 10 years, with the strongest contributor being economic value creation at 16.9/20.
The strongest moat sources are economic value creation (16.9/20) and financial resilience (16.7/20). ROIC 44.0% vs WACC 9.2% (spread +34.8%). Interest coverage 11.3x, Net debt/EBITDA 1.8x. These pillars form the core of CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (6.8/20) and growth durability (11.1/20). Capital turnover 3.27x, R&D intensity 2.3%. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 45% providing a solid profitability foundation, operating margins of 12% reflecting effective cost management. The margin cascade from 45% gross to 12% operating to 8.6% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that the profit engine is high-quality and likely sustainable, with the quality factor at the 62th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 45%, operating margins of 12%, net margins of 8.6%. Return metrics include ROE of 13.0% and ROA of 5.8%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 2.0 percentage points above the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 13.0% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects moderate leverage with D/E of 55%, a dividend yield of 1.33%, revenue growth of 5%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
