Read MoreHide Full Article
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD - Free Report) is likely to register top-and bottom-line growth when it reports fourth-quarter 2021 earnings on Jan 28, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1,346 million, suggesting a rise of almost 4% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for 2021 revenues is pegged at $5,170 million, indicating an increase of 5.6% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
Although the Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has moved down by a penny in the past 30 days to 58 cents per share, the projection suggests growth of 9.4% from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter. The company’s consensus mark for the 2021 bottom line is pegged at $2.97 per share, indicating a decline of almost 5% from the year-ago period’s reported figure. The developer, manufacturer and marketer of household, personal care and specialty products has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 6.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, Church & Dwight delivered an earnings surprise of 12.7%.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Church & Dwight is gaining from sturdy demand for its products for a while now. The company also continues to benefit from its brand strength, courtesy of its regular innovation and synergies drawn from its buyouts. In this regard, gains from the buyouts of Matrixx Initiatives, WATERPIK, BATISTE, FLAWLESS and ARM & HAMMER bode well.
Church & Dwight expects reported sales growth of roughly 5.5%. Organic sales are likely to have increased nearly 4% in 2021. Management expects 2021 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of 6%. For fourth-quarter 2021, the company expects an increase of about 3% in reported sales. Organic sales are estimated to have grown nearly 2%, given the temporary supply constraints. Church & Dwight envisions adjusted EPS of 61 cents in the quarter, suggesting a 15% increase from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Church & Dwight expects input and transportation costs to remain elevated in the quarter under review. This is likely to have dented gross margin in the quarter. Management expects additional input costs of $170 million for 2021. Thanks to the increased cost inflation, the company expects 2021 gross margin contraction of 170 basis points. That being said, reduced coupons and promotions, lower SG&A, reduced marketing and the announced price hikes are likely to offer some respite. The company persistently faces supply-chain constraints as well as raw material and labor shortages.
