Church & Dwight: C-Suite Swap Fails To Alter Thesis; Investors Should Remain on the Sidelines

Erin Lash

No-moat Church & Dwight announced that, after nearly nine years at the helm, CEO Matt Farrell will step down in March, with Rick Dierker, a 15-year veteran of the firm who currently serves as CFO and head of operations, slated to assume the top spot. Farrell will continue to serve as executive chairman to ensure a smooth transition. Given that Dierker has been intimately involved in crafting and executing the firm's strategic playbook, including assessing potential inorganic opportunities, we don't expect Church & Dwight will veer from its current course with him at the helm. As a result, our Standard Capital Allocation Rating remains in place, as does our $68 fair value estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

We think Church could boost sales by expanding the distribution of its recently acquired brands, TheraBreath mouthwash and Hero pimple patches, at home and abroad.

Bears

We expect promotions will ultimately return to historical levels, which stands to dampen sales and gross margins.

Company Profile

Church & Dwight is the leading global producer of baking soda. Beyond baking soda, the products in its portfolio have vast category reach, including laundry products, cat litter, oral care, deodorant, and nasal care, all sold under the Arm & Hammer brand. Its mix also includes Batiste, OxiClean, Vitafusion, WaterPik, Hero, and TheraBreath, which together with Arm & Hammer constitute around 70% of its annual sales and profits. Even as it works to extend the reach of its products, Church & Dwight still derives more than 80% of its sales from its home market in the US.
