Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend investors get exposure to a consumer products company behind ARM & HAMMER, TROJAN, and WATERPIK, among dozens of other household and personal care brands. The current yield is 1.21%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.205 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 15, 2026. A beta of 0.47 makes CHD stock one of the lower-volatility names in the consumer sector, which suits investors who prioritize price stability alongside income.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. pays out 39.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That level leaves meaningful earnings headroom, supported by demand for everyday household staples like laundry detergents, oral care products, and dietary supplements that tend to see steady purchasing regardless of economic conditions. The primary data-supported pressure on Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend safety is the history table itself, which shows a year-over-year decline in 2016 and a low-base period from 2017 through 2020, meaning the streak of increases is eight years, not decades.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.4% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.62 to $1.18 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump was 64.5% in 2011, though the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear. At 4.4% annually, the pace is moderate: it outpaces low inflation but does not dramatically compound income over short holding periods.
| 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 stock fits dividend investors who value low share-price volatility and a conservative payout structure over a high current yield. The yield sits at 1.21%, which falls in the low (below 2%) classification, and that is only modestly above the 5-year average of 1.1%, so there is no unusual income opportunity relative to CHD's own history. Eight consecutive years of increases shows a rebuilding growth pattern after the mid-2010s interruption, but the streak is short by dividend-growth standards. The trade-off is clear: investors get a well-covered payout from a portfolio of everyday consumer brands, and they accept a yield that will not move the needle for income-focused portfolios.
