MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Church & Dwight
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Church & Dwight Co., Inc.:

The company recently reported a quarterly revenue increase of 1.6% compared to the same quarter last year, indicating stable growth in its operations.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has set its guidance for the current fiscal year at an earnings per share (EPS) of 3.740-3.810, which suggests a positive outlook for profitability.
The current stock price is around $98, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in consumer goods.
The company has a consistent dividend payout, recently declaring a quarterly dividend of $0.3075 per share, which translates to an annualized dividend of $1.23 and a yield of 1.2%. This can provide a steady income stream for investors.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has a relatively low dividend payout ratio of approximately 40.46%, indicating that it retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, which can support future growth.

Church & Dwight
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Church & Dwight Co., Inc. for these reasons:

Insider selling has been notable, with executives selling a total of 60,880 shares valued at over $6 million in the last three months, which may raise concerns about the company's future prospects.
The company's earnings guidance for Q3 2026 is set at a flat EPS of 0.890, which may indicate potential stagnation in growth during that period.
Despite the recent revenue growth, the overall market for consumer products can be highly competitive, which may impact Church & Dwight Co., Inc.'s market share and profitability.
With corporate insiders owning only about 2% of the company's stock, there may be a lack of alignment between management and shareholder interests.
The dividend yield of 1.2% is relatively modest compared to other investment opportunities, which may not attract income-focused investors.
