Trades at a high-20s multiple which is too high for a consumer products company with their growth limited. Instead, look at Helen of Troy (HELE-Q) who distribute Revlon, Sunbeam and Dr. Scholl's and are trading at half the CHD multiple with the same growth rate.
Gordon ReidA developer and distributor of well-known products such as Revlon, Sunbeam, Vidal Sassoon, Dr. Scholl’s, etc. The company has done extremely well, but hit a bit of a hiccup in terms of growth in the last year or 2, but it appears that the growth has resumed. Trading at a mid-teens multiple, but have a very nice free cash flow yield of about 7.5%. This is a good time to buy.
Gordon ReidThey have two parts. Distribution of hair care items and a professional salon business. Also, do some home products. It is in his US small cap portfolio.
