What are Wall Street analysts saying about Church & Dwight stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Church & Dwight stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Church & Dwight have increased in the past year. We expect the company to deliver an above-average performance in the near term on solid organic sales, international business strength and prudent efforts to expand portfolio. Such factors drove the company’s results in the third quarter of 2019, with the top line benefitting from consistent category growth and healthy market share gains. Also, Church & Dwight has been gaining from the buyout of FLAWLESS, which is likely to boost the top line by 15% annually. Continued rise in gross margin has also been an upside . However, weak sales in the Specialty Products unit have been a headwind for the company. Sales in the segment are being affected by lower volumes caused by receding demand in the dairy industry. This, along with adverse currency impacts and stiff competition are concerns." (12/17/2019)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We believe guidance for both organic sales growth (unchanged at +3.5%) and gross margin continues to look conservative, but expect any upside to be reinvested with little flow- through to EPS. CHD delivered in Q1, but shares barely budged (CHD +1% vs. S&P flat), as a great quarter has clearly become what’s expected. CHD is trading at a 28x CY20E P/E multiple, a +53% premium to Staples (vs. 3 and 5-year historical averages of ~+29%) and we see few catalysts to drive valuation higher from here. Therefore we maintain our Market Perform rating." (5/2/2019)
