Church & Dwight (CHD) Q2 EPS Beats 9%
Church Dwight (NYSE:CHD), a consumer products company known for household and personal care brands, reported results for Q2 2025 on August 1, 2025. The headline news: the company posted earnings per share of $0.94 (Non-GAAP), outpacing analyst expectations of $0.86 (non-GAAP) and its own guidance of $0.85 adjusted EPS. Net sales (GAAP) came in at $1,506.3 million, exceeding GAAP revenue estimates by $19.1 million but down slightly (0.3%) from the same quarter the prior year (GAAP). While Non-GAAP EPS and GAAP revenue both beat forecasts, growth was subdued as Gross margin tightened, and certain product categories, such as vitamins, continued to struggle. Overall, the quarter showed better-than-expected performance but persistent challenges in margin and category growth.
