Church & Dwight stock holds near $101 after Q2 miss
Published on 09/02/2026 at 20:02 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSChurch & Dwight stock (US1713401024) traded at $101.26 on August 28, 2026, after the latest quarter showed $1.53 billion in revenue and $0.89 in earnings per share. MarketWatch listed a market capitalization of $24.02 billion and a 52-week range of $81.33 to $106.04.
Quarter still drives the story
According to MarketBeat, the July 31, 2026 quarter brought $1.53 billion in revenue, up 1.6 percent year over year, while EPS came in at $0.89 versus $0.94 a year earlier. The same report said Church & Dwight kept 2026 EPS guidance at $3.74 to $3.81, which frames the quarter as a modest miss on earnings but not on revenue.
The comparison matters. MarketBeat said the $0.89 result missed the $0.90 consensus by $0.01, while revenue of $1.53 billion topped the $1.50 billion expectation.
Analysts stay cautious
MarketBeat also reported a consensus Hold rating and an average price target of $104.41, with UBS at $107.00, Citi at $105.00, TD Cowen at $97.00, Barclays at $86.00 and Wells Fargo at $110.00. For investors, that leaves the stock close to the center of the current range rather than in a clear rerating zone.
Church & Dwight's dividend added another steady line to the picture. The company paid $0.3075 per share on September 1, 2026, equal to an annualized $1.23 and a yield of 1.2 percent.
Arm and Hammer stays central
Church & Dwight remains a consumer-staples name built around Arm & Hammer and a broader portfolio that spans household, personal care and specialty products. That mix mattered in the July 31, 2026 quarter because the company still produced 11.96 percent net margin and 20.10 percent return on equity, according to MarketBeat's report.
Price near the high
Church & Dwight stock last closed at $101.26 on August 28, 2026, just below the 52-week high of $106.04 and above the 52-week low of $81.33. The market capitalization stood at $24.02 billion, giving the shares a defensive valuation profile rather than a deep-value one.
