The Hong Kong-based Y Intercept Ltd and various other firms have shown interest in Church & Dwight Co., Inc., NYSE: CHD, increasing their respective positions in the company. CHD recently reported its Q4 and full-year 2024 results, and simultaneously announced a dividend boost to $0.295, increasing shareholder returns. The company projects a slight downturn for the Q1 EPS, but is anticipated to show growth in future earnings. Analysts hold a mixed opinion, whereby JPMorgan Chase predicts a bearish outlook for CHD's stock price, but other analysts expect exceeding Q4 expectations. Despite these mixed reviews, CHD's upcoming CEO transition remains a critical point of interest. The company reveals a largely institutional ownership of roughly 89% of company shares. Despite a recent slight decline in earnings, CHD's investors enjoyed a 3.8% return over the past week. Moreover, the upcoming dividend will reportedly be higher than previous payouts. However, the stock is deemed slightly overvalued despite assured growth. The consensus rating for the company stands at 'Hold' with an adjusted EPS range of $3.68 - $3.72 envisaged for the Fiscal Year 2025.
