Church & Dwight Co. Hits New 52-Week Low at $85.61

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 85.61 as of September 25, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the mid-cap company, which operates within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Over the past year, Church & Dwight has experienced a performance drop of 20.31%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 15.79%.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 27,567 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 31.00. Despite a dividend yield of 1.04%, the stock's valuation appears elevated compared to its peers, as indicated by a price-to-book ratio of 6.27. Financial metrics reveal a strong return on equity of 20.08% and a healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.30, suggesting effective management of financial resources.

However, the company has faced challenges in long-term growth, with operating profit increasing at an annual rate of just 2.28% over the last five years. Additionally, the stock has underperformed relative to the S&P 500 across various time frames, raising questions about its future trajectory in a competitive market.
