Church & Dwight Co. Hits 52-Week Low as Stock Drops to $81.33

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 81.33 as of October 30, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the company, which has experienced a 24.06% drop in its stock price over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 18.13% during the same period.
The company operates within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector and holds a market capitalization of approximately USD 27.57 billion. Despite its challenges, Church & Dwight maintains a solid return on equity of 20.08% and a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.30, indicating a strong capacity to service its debt obligations.

However, the stock's performance metrics reveal some concerns. The company's operating profit has grown at an annual rate of just 2.28% over the last five years, and it has generated a return of -16.17% in the past year. Additionally, the stock is trading at a premium compared to its peers, with a price-to-book ratio of 6.27. The recent price movement reflects ongoing pressures within the market, as the company navigates a challenging economic landscape.
