Church & Dwight: Solid Performance, But Valuation And Margin Concerns Remain
I maintain a neutral view on Church & Dwight Co. due to concerns about slowing domestic growth, which could impact its valuation multiples. Despite solid 4.2% organic sales growth in 4Q24, CHD's domestic segment grew only 2.7%, marking the 7th consecutive quarter of deceleration. Strong international performance and high demand for Hero and TheraBreath are positive, but domestic softness remains a significant risk.
