Is CHD Bullish or Bearish?

Bullish. Innellis AI committee rates Church & Dwight (CHD) Buy with a composite score of 57/100 , based on 6 analysts with 67% agreement. Last updated August 01, 2026.

What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +17.92 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -2.08 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

Some positive signals exist — market regime is bullish (bull market -- normal position sizing) — but they are not yet strong enough to justify a Buy. The committee is monitoring for confirmation.

Bull & Bear Case

Bull Case
  • ROE of 17.4% shows genuine earnings power backing the valuation — Value
  • EPS growing 30.1% YoY — Growth
  • Price structure making higher highs and higher lows — Technical
  • MACD histogram positive -- bullish momentum — Technical
  • Trend and market structure agree -- coherent bullish picture — Technical
  • Market regime is bullish (Bull market -- normal position sizing) — Macro
Bear Case
  • P/E of 31.9 is moderate-to-rich — Value
  • Price-to-book of 5.0x prices in significant intangible value — Value
  • Growth rate is decelerating quarter over quarter -- the trend line matters more than the level — Growth
Both cases are generated from quantitative data signals, not qualitative or forward-looking judgement. They summarise what the numbers say today.
