Jon Andersen has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that point to fundamental strength and attractive return potential for Church & Dwight. The company’s fourth-quarter 2025 results modestly exceeded both his and the market’s expectations on sales and earnings per share, and initial 2026 guidance for organic revenue and EPS growth is set above his prior forecasts. This signals management’s confidence in the business trajectory and provides a supportive backdrop for forward-looking estimates.
Andersen also emphasizes the resilience of Church & Dwight’s model in a challenging macro environment, highlighting its mix of higher-end and value-oriented offerings across essential consumer categories. He notes that the company generates strong cash flow, which, combined with flexible capital deployment options, underpins the potential for continued value creation for shareholders. At an enterprise value of roughly 17 times his 2026 EBITDA estimate, he views the valuation as reasonable relative to the company’s growth profile and quality, reinforcing his positive stance on the stock.
Andersen covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as Vital Farms, J & J Snack Foods, and Church & Dwight. According to TipRanks, Andersen has an average return of 1.4% and a 52.45% success rate on recommended stocks.
