<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

General

Why Consumer Goods Maker Church & Dwight Stock Fell On Thursday?

WIIM

Church & Dwight shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q1 sales results, issued Q2 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates, and cut its FY25 adjusted EPS guidance.

Outlook for 2025
Mr. Dierker stated, "Despite these uncertain markets, we remain focused on growing our market shares across our portfolio. We will continue to invest in marketing to support our brands and we believe consumption of our brands will continue to outpace category growth fueled by innovation. We will continue to offer high quality products to consumers at the right value. This outlook reflects strong underlying operating fundamentals.
"We now expect organic sales growth of approximately 0% to 2% (previously 3% to 4%).2 The sales outlook now reflects no recovery in retailer destocking from Q1 and slower category growth due to macroeconomic uncertainty. The deceleration of category growth in our largest categories in the US reflects the tentativeness of the US consumer. We saw 2.5% category growth in Q4 2024, 1.5% in Q1, and negative year-over-year category consumption in April. We continue to anticipate gaining market share.
"Full year adjusted gross margin is now expected to contract 60 basis points2 versus 2024 (previously +25 basis points) as we expect tariff impacts, persistently elevated input costs, and unfavorable mix to offset incremental productivity. Marketing as a percentage of sales is expected to be approximately 11% of sales, as we will continue to invest in our brands and innovation.
"We continue to expect SG&amp;A as a percentage of sales to be lower versus 2024 while making investments for our future, especially in ecommerce and International. We continue to expect other expense for 2025 to be approximately $50 million. Our tax rate is expected to be approximately 23%.
"We now expect full year adjusted EPS growth for 2025 of 0% to 2%2 (previously 7% to 8% growth), due to lower sales assuming no recovery in retailer destocking from Q1, slower category growth for the balance of the year, and tariff pressures.
"Cash flow from operations is now expected to be $1.05 billion (previously $1.156 billion). We expect 2025 capital expenditures of approximately $130 million. We continue to pursue accretive acquisitions that meet our strict criteria, with an emphasis on fast-moving consumable products, similar to our last 3 acquisitions (ZICAM, THERABREATH, and HERO).
"For Q2, we expect organic sales of approximately -2% to Flat2. As a result, we expect Adjusted EPS of $0.85 per share, a decrease of 9% versus last year's adjusted Q2 EPS.2 We continue to expect EPS growth to be weighted towards the back half of 2025 due to marketing and investment timing versus a year ago.
"Our adjusted outlook excludes as of April 1st, 2025 charges and the ongoing results for the Flawless, Spinbrush and Waterpik showerhead businesses."

Church & Dwight Expects 2025 Organic Sales Growth Of Approximately 0% To 2% (Previously 3% To 4%)

"For Q2, we expect organic sales of approximately -2% to Flat2. As a result, we expect Adjusted EPS of $0.85 per share, a decrease of 9% versus last year's adjusted Q2 EPS.2 We continue to expect EPS growth to be weighted towards the back half of 2025 due to marketing and investment timing versus a year ago.

Church & Dwight Co Lowers FY2025 Adj EPS Guidance from $3.68-$3.72 to $3.44-$3.51 vs $3.69 Est

These businesses generate approximately $150 million of Net Sales with below average profitability. This decision will strengthen the company, sharpen our focus on core brands, and mitigate a significant portion of our tariff exposure. We expect to record a Q2 charge of approximately $60 to 80 million, primarily compromised of non-cash impairments of intangibles and fixed assets, as well as inventory charges depending on sell through.&nbsp;

Church & Dwight Is Moving With Speed On Portfolio Decisions And Will Be Taking Strategic Actions For The Flawless, Spinbrush And Waterpik Showerhead Businesses, Which Includes Shutting Down Or Selling These Businesses

The impact of the portfolio decisions and a series of supply chain actions is expected to reduce our tariff exposure by approximately 80%. The supply chain actions include no longer sourcing Waterpik flossers from China for the U.S. market. The impact of inventory builds and other quick supply chain actions enable us to effectively manage the tariff exposure and the net impact is included in the Company's outlook. Over the next 12 months, we believe the impact of the remaining tariffs can be mitigated through supply chain efforts and surgical pricing.&nbsp;
