CCO Hooker Carlen sells 11,875 shares of CHD for $1,172,656.25, reducing stake 97.8%
Hooker Carlen, the company's Chief Commercial Officer, executed 3 separate sales on 2025-05-30 totaling 11,875 shares for $1,172,656.25 at $98.75 per share, reducing his post-transaction holdings to just 262 shares from 12,137 shares pre-transaction. This represents a 97.8% reduction in his equity position in Church & Dwight, a company with $1.5B in latest quarterly revenue and a $24.4B market cap. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading near recent levels (currently $99.04, +6.6% over 30 days but -10.5% over 90 days and -12.5% from its 52-week high of $113.20). The near-complete liquidation of a senior executive's holdings warrants scrutiny regarding his confidence in near-term company direction, though the transaction details themselves provide no stated rationale.
