Church & Dwight's second quarter delivered organic sales growth of 5.8% against a 3% outlook, nearly double the guidance, with volume accounting for 4.3 percentage points of that figure. The breadth of the outperformance is notable: all three divisions contributed, international posted 9.1% organic growth, and global e-commerce expanded 22.7% to represent 25.5% of total consumer sales. Adjusted EPS of $0.89 edged past the $0.88 outlook, and the company raised its full-year organic sales guidance to 4%-5% (from 3%-4%), tightened EPS growth to 6%-8% (from 5%-8%), and lifted cash from operations guidance to approximately $1.175 billion.
