UBS lowers Church & Dwight (CHD) target, sees "okay" Q1 for staples. Published on April 8, 2026 at 12:59 am by vardah gill in news. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) is included among the 15 Best Low Volatility Blue Chip Stocks to Buy Now. On April 7, UBS lowered the firm's price recommendation on Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) to $98 from $102. The analyst reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares.UBS expects Q1 results across much of the consumer staples group to be "okay." Organic revenue growth is showing some signs of stabilizing. The bigger question, in the firm's view, is how companies will guide for the rest of the year. Inflation is expected to weigh more heavily on earnings in the second half and possibly beyond. A week earlier, on March 31, TD Cowen also cut its price target on Church & Dwight to $93 from $112, while maintaining a Hold rating. The firm lowered its estimates across the household and personal care space. The analyst said companies are unlikely to fully offset higher oil-related input costs linked to the Iran war. Even if the conflict ends soon, the price increases "will prove sticky due to infrastructure damage." TD Cowen also pointed to weaker pricing power compared to past periods. It sees fewer opportunities for companies to shift consumers toward higher-end products, which contributed to the lower targets. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) develops, manufactures, and markets a range of household and personal care products. It also operates in specialty areas tied to animal and food production, chemicals, and cleaners, with business segments including Consumer Domestic, Consumer International, and the Specialty Products Division. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of CHD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than CHD and that has 10,000% upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
