Church & Dwight Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results with Organic Sales Growth Exceeding Outlook
Church & Dwight (CHD) reported third-quarter results that surpassed company expectations, highlighted by organic sales growth of 5.1%, which outperformed the initial 3% guidance. This growth was primarily driven by a 4.6% increase in volume across all business divisions, including Consumer Domestic, Consumer International, and Specialty Products. Adjusted EPS rose 13.6% year-over-year to $0.92, supported by gross margin expansion of 170 basis points due to productivity gains. Despite the strong performance, management raised its full-year inflation outlook to $150 million, citing increased commodity pressures from the Middle East and rising transportation costs driven by U.S. driver shortages. To manage capital allocation, the Board authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program. The company also raised its full-year organic sales guidance to approximately 5%, reaching the high end of its previous range.
