A receding share position of late supports our take that Church & Dwight has yet to amass an edge.
While Church & Dwight chalked up accelerating sequential top-line growth in the fourth quarter, we maintain a more tempered stance regarding its competitive position and financial prospects. Organic sales ticked up 2.7% compared with 1.2% in the third quarter, but as has been the case, this reflected a more than 3% increase in volume that was offset by a 50-basis-point erosion in price and unfavorable mix. The firm was unable to reverse eroding market share trends, as 6 of its top 10 brands,...Church & Dwight develops, manufactures and markets a range of consumer products. The company's consumer products include: ARM & HAMMER? baking soda, cat litter, laundry detergent, carpet deodorizer and other baking soda based products; TROJAN? condoms, lubricants and vibrators; OXICLEAN? stain removers, cleaning solutions, laundry detergents and bleach alternatives; SPINBRUSH? battery-operated toothbrushes; FIRST RESPONSE? home pregnancy and ovulation test kits; NAIR? depilatories; ORAJEL? oral analgesic; XTRA? laundry detergent; L'IL CRITTERS? and VITAFUSION? gummy dietary supplements; BATISTE? dry shampoo; WATERPIK? water flossers and showerheads, and FLAWLESS? hair removal products.
