Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD)

Business Transformation In Progress

Church & Dwight (CHD) is not just another household products company holding steady with legacy brands - it is actively reshaping its portfolio. Through 2025, CHD announced or completed the exit of several underperforming or non-core businesses: Spinbrush, Flawless, and the Waterpik showerhead business (all announced May 1, 2025), followed by the sale of its VitaFusion and L'il Critters gummy vitamin brands to Piping Rock Health Products, an agreement signed December 9, 2025 and closed December 31, 2025. Note: Waterpik's core oral care water flosser business remains part of CHD - only the showerhead line was divested.

This 'trim the tail' strategy runs alongside the opposite move on the growth side: CHD acquired Hero Cosmetics (Mighty Patch) for roughly $630 million in September 2022, and more recently added Touchland, both higher-growth, higher-margin skincare/personal care adjacencies. The pattern is clear - shed slow-growing, capital-intensive categories (gummy vitamins had been a multi-year organic-growth drag, even though the category itself showed three straight quarters of growth in early 2026 before the divestment) and reinvest in categories with pricing power and premium positioning.

Three Reporting Segments

Shariah Compliance Status

CHD is classified as Shariah COMPLIANT per the Zoya screening reference used on mahersaham.com. As always, students should treat this as a screening reference point, not a substitute for personal due diligence, and re-verify status periodically since compliance classifications can change with balance-sheet shifts.
