How Church & Dwight makes money

It earns most of its money selling branded consumer products to shoppers through retailers and e-commerce, in the U.S. and internationally. Additional revenue comes from selling sodium bicarbonate and animal-productivity products to industrial customers and livestock producers through distributors.

What Church & Dwight does

Church & Dwight, founded in 1846 and based in Ewing, New Jersey, owns a portfolio of household and personal care brands built around its original ARM & HAMMER baking soda. Its brands include OXICLEAN stain removers, XTRA detergent, BATISTE dry shampoo, WATERPIK water flossers, THERABREATH oral care, HERO acne treatments, TOUCHLAND hand sanitizers, TROJAN sexual wellness products, FIRST RESPONSE pregnancy tests, NAIR, ORAJEL and ZICAM.

What is Church & Dwight worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Church & Dwight's most-likely value is about $97 versus a recent price near $98 (1% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$53) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $98
Fair value (most likely)
$97
Range
$78–$132
No-growth floor
$53
Price
~$98

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
