The return on equity (ROE) of Church & Dwight Company Inc has shown fluctuating trends over the past few years.

From March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2021, the ROE consistently increased from 23.78% to 25.59%, indicating the company was effectively generating profits from shareholders' equity during this period. However, the ROE started declining from March 31, 2022, reaching its lowest point of 10.79% on September 30, 2023.

The ROE then experienced a slight recovery towards the end of 2023 and into 2024, but it remained below the levels seen in the earlier period. This decline in ROE could be attributed to factors such as decreased profitability relative to shareholder equity or higher equity levels without corresponding profit growth.

Overall, the decreasing trend in ROE from 2022 to 2024 suggests that Church & Dwight Company Inc may be facing challenges in maintaining profitability in relation to its shareholders' equity. Further analysis would be needed to understand the specific factors driving these fluctuations and to assess the company's long-term financial performance.
