Church & Dwight Co., Inc. pays out 38.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by demand for everyday household and personal care products, categories that tend to see steady repurchase cycles across economic conditions. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend safety benefits from this low payout cushion, though the company operates in a competitive consumer products market where brand investment and pricing pressure can weigh on margins over time.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.3% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.34 to $1.18 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 3.8% in 2023, which shows that even in slower years, CHD has not paused its streak.
| 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 | +5.8% | $0.67 (2015) | $1.18 (2025) |
CHD fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield, particularly those drawn to household and personal care names with long payout histories. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 1.25%, which is modestly above the 5-year average of 1.16% but still well below what pure income investors typically seek. What CHD offers instead is 34 consecutive years of dividend increases, a streak that earns it Dividend Aristocrat status and reflects a disciplined approach to returning cash to shareholders. The trade-off is straightforward: investors accept a low starting yield in exchange for a 9.3% annual growth rate over the past 14 years and a conservative 38.6% payout ratio that keeps the dividend well-covered.
CHD is a Dividend Aristocrat with 34 consecutive years of dividend increases.
