Church & Dwight Maintained its Upward Trend in Recent Months

One stock that I took not of last night was Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD).

As the rest of the market was experiencing a pretty sharp downturn in the fourth quarter, Church & Dwight just kept on climbing. The stock dipped in early October jumped at the end of the month when the company posted better than expected earnings’ results.

We see that the stock only dipped slightly in December and if we connect the low there with the low in October, we get a trend line that could help the stock continue to move higher.
