Church & Dwight (CHD) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Church & Dwight published the results on October 30, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Church & Dwight reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Reported sales growth is held down by Church & Dwight's 2025 portfolio actions: the sale of the VitaFusion and L'il Critters vitamin brands, which closed on December 31, 2025, and exits from the Spinbrush, Flawless and Waterpik showerheads businesses. Divestitures took 6.1 points off Q3 2026 reported growth, by the company's organic sales reconciliation.
• Q4 2025 diluted EPS of $0.60 included a pre-tax charge of $58.5 million on the VMS divestiture.

How Church & Dwight splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Church & Dwight's Consumer Domestic revenue was $1.2 billion in Q3 2026, flat on $1.2 billion in Q3 2025, 76% of total revenue.
• Church & Dwight's Consumer International revenue was $297 million in Q3 2026, up 3% from $290 million in Q3 2025, 19% of total revenue.
• Church & Dwight's Specialty Products Division revenue was $79.6 million in Q3 2026, up 5% from $75.8 million in Q3 2025, 5% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

In its Q3 2026 release, Church & Dwight said:

“The Company is also raising its full year organic sales growth to approximately 5%, the high end of its prior expectation of 4% to 5%, reflecting the Company's strong year to date growth and its confidence in continued momentum during the fourth quarter.”

“We now expect full-year reported EPS to increase approximately 20%. We also expect Adjusted EPS growth for 2026 of 7%, tightening the range from our prior expectation of 6% to 8%.”

“For the fourth quarter, we expect reported sales decline of approximately 0.5%, driven entirely by the strategic portfolio actions taken in 2025.”

“Overall adjusted EPS is expected to increase 17% to 19% versus last year.”

Net sales rose only 1.0% because of the 2025 portfolio actions, chiefly the sale of the VitaFusion and L'il Critters vitamin brands to Piping Rock, which closed on December 31, 2025, and the exits from Spinbrush, Flawless and Waterpik showerheads. Organic sales, which exclude acquisitions, divestitures and currency, grew 5.1%: volume added 4.6% and price and mix 0.5%. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026; Church & Dwight Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 30, 2026)

By division, Consumer Domestic organic sales grew 4.4%, led by ARM & HAMMER liquid laundry detergent, THERABREATH mouthwash and toothpaste, ARM & HAMMER cat litter and WATERPIK water flossers. Consumer International grew 7.8% organically on volume of 9.1%, and Specialty Products 5.0%. The Miss Mouth's Messy Eater brand, bought on May 28, 2026 for $300.0 million in cash at closing, added to reported Consumer Domestic sales.

Church & Dwight's sales are concentrated in a few retailers. Walmart and its affiliates accounted for approximately 23% of consolidated net sales in 2025, and a group of four customers for approximately 44%. Global e-commerce revenues grew 20% in Q3 2026, and online sales were 25.9% of total consumer sales. (Church & Dwight Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 12, 2026; Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026)

Church & Dwight's adjusted EPS of $0.92 was three cents above GAAP diluted EPS of $0.89 in Q3 2026. The adjustments were $6.3 million of charges for restricted stock issued for the TOUCHLAND acquisition and $0.2 million of ERP project costs. A year earlier the adjustments also included TOUCHLAND earnout and HERO restricted stock items, taking $0.75 of GAAP EPS to $0.81 adjusted. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026)

Gross margin rose 170 basis points to 46.8%, which Church & Dwight attributes to higher volume, productivity, tariff refunds and mix from its acquisitions and portfolio actions, offsetting inflation and higher transportation costs. The adjusted effective tax rate was 21.5%, against 21.6% a year earlier. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026)

Diluted shares fell to 238.7 million from 243.2 million. Church & Dwight spent $37.1 million on treasury stock in the first nine months of 2026, against $600.0 million a year earlier, and on October 27, 2026 its board approved a new program to repurchase up to $1,000.0 million of common stock, replacing the 2021 program, which had $228.9 million left. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026; Church & Dwight Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 30, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Church & Dwight gives its outlook in the release. For full-year 2026 it now expects reported net sales growth of approximately 0.5% (previously flat to 1%), organic sales growth of approximately 5%, about 100 basis points of adjusted gross margin expansion, reported EPS up approximately 20% and adjusted EPS up 7%. Its reconciliation puts full-year reported EPS at $3.63 and adjusted EPS at $3.76, against $3.02 and $3.53 for 2025. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026)

For Q4 2026 it expects reported sales to decline approximately 0.5%, entirely because of the 2025 portfolio actions, organic sales growth of approximately 4.0% and adjusted EPS up 17% to 19%. It expects an adjusted tax rate of approximately 21% and cash from operations of approximately $1.175 billion for the year. (Church & Dwight Q3 2026 release, Oct 30, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Church & Dwight, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Church & Dwight's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning CHD is on is CHD a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the CHD forecast, and what the company does is on the Church & Dwight (CHD) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Church & Dwight published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
