After conducting a forensic financial and accounting review, Spruce Point believes Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD), an S&P 500 company and roll-up acquirer of personal care and consumer products, has pivoted towards extreme financial engineering, aggressive accounting, and managerial self-enrichment practices. Based on our investigation, we estimate 35% to 50% downside risk, or $40 - $52 per share.

The report highlights several key concerns with the company, including:

  • Evidence of undeserved record valuation multiple and premium
