Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend investors are looking at a consumer staples company behind ARM & HAMMER, TROJAN, and WATERPIK, among dozens of other household and personal care brands. The current yield is 1.2%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.2175 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 14, 2026. CHD's beta of 0.471 points to low price volatility, which suits income investors who prioritize capital preservation over high current yield.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. pays out 38.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That level of retention leaves meaningful room to sustain the dividend even if earnings soften, and Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend safety is further supported by the company's portfolio of everyday consumer staples, products like laundry detergents, oral care, and dietary supplements that generate recurring demand across economic conditions. The most significant data-supported pressure point is the dividend history itself, which contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, showing the payout is not unconditionally protected.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.4% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.6200 to $1.1800 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 64.5% in 2011, though the data also includes at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.0% | $1.05 (2022) | $1.18 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +4.2% | $0.96 (2020) | $1.18 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -1.3% | $1.34 (2015) | $1.18 (2025) |
CHD fits dividend investors who want a low-volatility consumer staples holding with a growing, well-covered payout rather than maximum current income. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 1.2% today versus a 5-year average of 1.08%, so the current yield is modestly above its own historical norm. The 38.7% payout ratio means the dividend consumes less than half of earnings, leaving room for continued increases. What an investor gets here is a conservatively managed payout backed by everyday consumer brands. The trade-off is straightforward: growth is slow at 4.4% annually, and the yield itself will not move the needle for income-focused portfolios.
