On the watchlist
The five investor questions
2021–2025 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $5.2B to $6.2B, increasing; diluted EPS 3.32 to 3.02, decreasing.
Median gross margin 45.0% over 10y, very stable.
Median ROIC 14.5%, above the 12% hurdle in 80% of years.
Net debt/EBITDA 1.4x, interest coverage 11x.
Owner earnings changed +5.8%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations.
Price vs. value if growth stopped today
A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.
- $757M
- $35.55
- $35.55
- $97.64
- 175% above value if growth stopped today
What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~22%/yr over 5 years. The zero-growth estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).
How to read this
We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.
This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.
Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 0% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.
19 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. booked $6.2B of revenue in FY2025 in the Materials sector and kept 44.7% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 11.9% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $2.4B (FY2008) to $6.2B (FY2025) — about 5.7% a year compounded over 17 years.
It earned 14.3% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 18-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 14.7%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 14.5%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 69/100.
The balance sheet carried $2.2B of total debt in FY2025 against $862M of owner earnings — roughly 2.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 60/100.
Put together: Pricing Power is the strongest of the five filters (77/100) and Business Trend the weakest (54/100), which is how CHD lands at 66/100 — a Narrow moat.
This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
Gaps in a line mean that item isn’t in CHD’s filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

Breaks in the line mark methodology or normalizer upgrades — readings across versions aren’t compared, so a level shift there isn’t a change in the business.

Scores are logged append-only and never overwritten — this record cannot be reconstructed retroactively, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.
Insider activity
Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”
These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.
This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.
Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Aug 10, 2026.
Among the rows shown, A/F/M acquisition, payment or withholding, and exercise or conversion rows outnumber S sale rows (5 versus 1). The filing codes alone do not establish that every such row arose from a compensation plan.
Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.

Common questions about CHD
- Does CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. have an economic moat?
- Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. (CHD) 66.4 out of 100 — a Narrow moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 54, pricing power 77, returns on capital 69, balance-sheet safety 60, capital allocation 72.
- Is CHD trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
- The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $35.55 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $97.64, that is 175% above value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
- How has CHD's Moat Score changed over time?
- The record logs 16 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 66.4 out of 100 (narrow moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
