Read MoreHide Full Article
Church & Dwight Co. Inc. (CHD - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth when it reports first-quarter 2023 results on Apr 27, 2023, before market open. For first-quarter 2023 revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $1.4 billion, suggesting 4.4% growth from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
However, Church & Dwight’s bottom line is likely to decline year over year in the first quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter earnings is pegged at 76 cents per share, which suggests a decline of 8.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Also, the consensus mark has remained unchanged in the past 30 days.
We expect total revenues to be up 4% year over year to $1,348.6 million and the bottom line to decrease 9.4% to 75 cents a share in the first quarter of 2023.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 3.3%. Its earnings outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters by 9.1%, on average.
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Church & Dwight has been gaining from its robust acquisitions and emphasis on sound innovation. The company continues to profit from strong consumer demand. Church & Dwight has been resorting to incremental pricing across its portfolio to counter rising costs.
For the first quarter of 2023, the company expects roughly 4% increase in reported sales and 1% increase in organic sales growth. In its last earnings call, management highlighted that solid consumption in several businesses during 2022 has offset the slowdown across discretionary brands, including Waterpik and Flawless and reduced consumption growth in the vitamin category. Moreover, management expects gross margin expansion in the first quarter, partly offset by higher marketing and SG&A spending.
The company expects first-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of approximately 75 cents per share, down 10% from the year-ago quarter’s adjusted EPS. The downside can be attributed to softness in discretionary brands and the timing of equity grants.
