# Church & Dwight: Competitors & Industry Structure



## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies Church & Dwight under SIC code 2840 (Soap, Detergents, Cleang Preparations, Perfumes, Cosmetics). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 2 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Church & Dwight ranks 3 of 3. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does Church & Dwight Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Procter & Gamble (PG)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/procter-and-gamble/) | $84.3 billion FY2025 | 0.3% | 24.3% | 19.0% |
| [Ecolab (ECL)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/ecolab/) | $16.1 billion FY2025 | 2.2% | 17.0% | 12.9% |
| **Church & Dwight (CHD)** | $6.2 billion FY2025 | 1.6% | 17.4% | 11.9% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Church & Dwight reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001193125-26-048139 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
