FCF Yield

The current FCF Yield of 4.7% means that for every $100 invested in CHD, the company generates $4.70 in free cash flow — the cash left after operating and capital expenses.

This yield sits slightly above the sector median of 4.3%, placing CHD in the 55th percentile among its peers, so it performs better than about half of the sector. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -13.0% shows the yield dropped from 5.4% to 4.7% in the most recent period. A FCF Yield above the sector median suggests the stock offers decent cash-generation relative to its price, but the negative quarterly trend indicates that cash flow per share is falling or the share price is rising faster than cash flows. This combination — a level that is above average yet trending downward — points to moderate risk, as the current advantage may erode if the trend continues. The NEUTRAL verdict is supported because the yield’s peer ranking is only modestly above average and the recent decline prevents a clear bullish or bearish signal.
