By |January 30th, 2022|Equity Investing|

Having been a shareholder since late 2005, I can attest that Church & Dwight (CHD) creates long-term wealth through the consistent appropriate prioritization of Free Cash Flow. This track record of long-term wealth creation is borne out from its 3, 5, 10, and 15-year returns of 17.4%, 20%, 18%, and 17.9%; the return in FY2021 [...]
