The performance reflectts the benefits of its successful strategic actions, officials said.

Net sales for Happi Top 50 Company Church & Dwight grew 1.6% to $1.5 billion in Q2 2026.

The performance exceeded the company’s outlook of a 1% decline, reflecting the benefits of its successful 2025 strategic portfolio actions, officials said. Organic sales growth accelerated to 5.8%, above the company’s 3% outlook, with growth across all three divisions, driven primarily by volume growth of 4.3% and positive price and mix of 1.5%.

During the quarter, the company also acquired the fast-growing Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater brand.

“Our power brands continued to perform exceptionally well in a challenging macroeconomic environment, driving a second straight quarter of industry-leading organic sales growth,” said CEO Rick Dierker. “Despite ongoing volatility, we delivered a strong first half of growth. In the quarter, our brands once again gained share driven by innovation, distribution wins, and increased marketing investments. The strength of our brand portfolio, combined with the strategic portfolio actions we implemented in 2025, has enhanced our focus on our growth initiatives and reinforces our confidence as we enter the second half of 2026.”
