Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Hits New 52-Week Low at $86.65

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 86.65 as of September 22, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the company, which has experienced a 19.53% drop in its stock price over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 16.64% during the same period. The company operates within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector and holds a market capitalization of USD 27,567 million. Despite its mid-cap status, Church & Dwight's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 31.00, indicating a premium valuation compared to its peers. The stock's price-to-book ratio is 6.27, further reflecting its elevated market position. 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. The recent performance underscores a trend of below-par results, as the stock has underperformed both in the near term and over the long term.
