Best S&P 500 Value Stocks to Buy Now: Church & Dwight (CHD)
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) has to be one of my favorite stocks of all time. Its name sounds like a law firm, but the consumer products it sells are used daily by millions of people around the world.
Although products like Arm & Hammer, Trojan, Oxi Clean and Waterpik are household names, the stock’s track record is what keeps me positive about the company.
In 2016, I highlighted the fact CHD stock hadn’t had a losing year over the past decade. In 2016, it was up almost 6%, but underperformed the S&P 500; it did the same thing in 2017, gaining 15% to the index’s 22% and it’s down slightly in 2018.
You might be tempted to think its best days are behind it, but you’d be wrong.
Its Q3 2017 report exceeded expectations and fiscal 2017 is shaping up to be another healthy year with free cash flow expected to exceed net income with adjusted EPS growth of 8.5%.
Church & Dwight is a company with a history of underpromising and overdelivering. Of all the S&P 500 value stocks to own, this would be at the top of the list.
