The Quality Score for CHD stands at 6.1 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Church & Dwight Co., Inc. in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Church & Dwight Co., Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Set against 71 Consumer Staples companies, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. lands at the 64th percentile, in the better half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.8, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. is in line with that typical reading.
Profitability scores 6.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 4.7, so Church & Dwight Co., Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 71st percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency scores 7.6 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Church & Dwight Co., Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.
On growth, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. scores 3.6, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it in line with them, at the 37th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
On efficiency, Church & Dwight Co., Inc. scores 6.2, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it below them, at the 35th percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc.’s predictability score is 6.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is in line with the group and the 55th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The gap between Church & Dwight Co., Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 7.6 against growth at 3.6, 4.0 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has no pillar below the median of Consumer Staples companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 5.8 rather than 6.1. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has a reading on every pillar.
