CHURCH & DWIGHT CO INC /DE/ CHD

Church & Dwight's strongest current evidence is not a rumour or a price move; it is the filed first-quarter operating record. The 10-Q for the period ending 2026-03-31 shows $1.47B of revenue, $291.0M of operating income, $216.3M of net income attributable to parent and diluted EPS of $0.91 on 238.1M diluted shares. That gives the daily file a real earnings spine before any market colour is added.

The company is an operating consumer-products business, not a ticker floating free of shelves and households. Its official site describes Church & Dwight as a consumer goods company across home goods, personal care, health and global consumer products, and says it studies consumers, uncovers insights and turns those insights into new products. The useful point is narrow but important: the financial story is tied to repeat household and personal-care demand, product development and portfolio management, not to a one-off headline.

The balance-sheet and cash facts add weight. For the quarter ended 2026-03-31, SEC filed financials show $9.01B of assets, $4.82B of liabilities, $4.19B of stockholders' equity attributable to parent and $503.4M of cash and cash equivalents. Operating cash flow was $174.8M, payments to acquire property, plant and equipment were $31.9M, research and development expense was $31.6M, inventory was $578.4M and the increase in inventories was $45.1M.

The supplied source rail includes SEC EDGAR, SEC submissions JSON, SEC companyfacts JSON, the issuer website, a 2026-05-01 8-K announcing quarter-ended 2026-03-31 results, a 2026-05-05 8-K, the 2026-05-01 10-Q and recent June Form 4 and Form 144 filings. It does not include a TradingView route or any chart levels, so this report should not pretend to see candles, support, resistance or moving averages. The market mechanism here is the public filing trail meeting an operating consumer-products business.

What changed on the public rail is a run of SEC activity: Form 4 filings dated 2026-06-12, 2026-06-16, 2026-06-16 and 2026-06-17, plus Form 144 notices dated 2026-06-11 and 2026-06-15. The evidence names the forms and official source, but not the insider identities, share amounts, prices or planned-sale details, so the responsible reading is that governance and ownership filing trail has been active, not that a motive has been proven.

The product and portfolio facts are more concrete. The 10-Q says the company completed the Touchland Holding Corp acquisition on 2025-07-16, bringing TOUCHLAND hand sanitiser products into the story. The same filing says Church & Dwight announced exits from the Spinbrush and Flawless businesses on 2025-05-01, with pre-tax losses of $21.2 and $17.6 respectively. The daily tension is therefore simple: a profitable consumer-products operator is still editing what belongs in the portfolio and what does not.
