Cherne

Cherne Market Overview

Cherne, a brand within the Oatey Co. family, generated the majority of its revenue through a concentrated retail footprint between January 1 and August 31, 2026, according to in-store data from Grips Intelligence tracking menards.com, lowes.com, homedepot.com and Amazon. Menards accounted for half of all brand revenue at 50.0%, with Lowe's at 25.1%, Home Depot at 13.3% and Amazon trailing at 11.4%. The brand's average product price sat at $27.69 across the period, though pricing softened notably over the summer, falling 19.6% overall and dipping to $24.25 in the most recent month tracked. Revenue followed a similarly uneven path, declining 17.0% across the June-to-August window despite an 11.3% month-over-month rebound at the end of the period. That combination of falling average prices and heavy dependence on a single retailer makes channel diversification and price stability the key variables to watch for Cherne heading into the next cycle.
