Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (ISIN US1713401024) closed at USD 94.76 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, down 0.30 percent. The price was USD 11.28 below the 52-week high of USD 106.04, putting the stock closer to the middle of its USD 81.33 to USD 106.04 annual range.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The September 18 close gives Church & Dwight a concrete market reference before the September 22 session. Yahoo Finance listed a previous close of USD 94.75, a market capitalization of USD 22.649 billion and volume of 1,340,517 shares in its September 21, 2026 market snapshot.

The valuation picture is demanding rather than distressed. Yahoo Finance reported trailing earnings per share of USD 3.12 and a price-to-earnings ratio of 30.60 on September 21, 2026. The stock therefore traded at a premium to its recent earnings base while remaining USD 11.28 below its 52-week high.

Q2 FY26 delivered USD 1.53 billion

According to Yahoo Finance on September 21, 2026, Church & Dwight generated USD 1.53 billion in revenue and USD 202.8 million in earnings in Q2 FY26. The reported profit margin was 13.25 percent for that period.

The same Q2 FY26 snapshot showed normalized earnings per share of USD 0.89 against an estimate of USD 0.899. That USD 0.009 shortfall is small in absolute terms, but it gives the quarterly result a more balanced profile than a simple earnings beat would suggest.

Analyst target stays above market price

Yahoo Finance listed a one-year analyst target of USD 105.11 on September 21, 2026, compared with a current price of USD 95.49 in its delayed market display. The target was USD 9.62 above that quoted level, while the displayed target range ran from USD 78.00 to USD 115.00.

The same page identified UBS as maintaining a Neutral rating and raising its price target from USD 104 to USD 107 on August 3, 2026. That target revision is historical context rather than a September 22 catalyst, but it shows that the analyst range remains wider than the stock's current trading band.
