PepsiCo to Buy Siete in a $1.2B Deal: Will it Boost the Stock?

The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/khc#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) is demonstrating resilience in a tough economic landscape thanks to its effective pricing strategies. In second-quarter 2024, KHC reported an adjusted gross profit of $2,296 million, up 2.5% year over year. The upside highlights the company&#39;s ability to maintain robust profit margins, even as inflationary pressures persist. With its adjusted gross margin expanding 210 basis points (bps) to 35.5%, the company is proving that it can navigate a challenging consumer environment while generating profits.
However, the company&#39;s growth is not without hurdles. In spite of bright spots in its three core segments &mdash; Foodservice, Emerging Markets and U.S. Retail Grow platforms &mdash; KHC is battling shifts in consumer behavior and declining demand for certain products. As we explore Kraft Heinz&#39;s strategies and challenges, it becomes clear that the company is at a critical juncture.
<h2>KHC Navigating Inflation and Boosting Margins</h2>
The ability to implement successful pricing strategies played a pivotal role in its performance. In the second quarter, the company&#39;s pricing moved up 1 percentage point, driven by higher pricing in the North America and Emerging Markets segments. Its focus on adjusting prices in response to rising input costs has paid off, as seen in its improved adjusted operating income &mdash; rising 2% to $1,380 million in the quarter. The uptick not only reflects the benefits of improved pricing but also projects KHC&#39;s proactive stance in managing costs.
KHC&#39;s strategic initiatives have also contributed to margin improvement. The introduction of its Agile@Scale program aims to enhance operational agility, resulting in a notable 190-bps increase in gross profit margin during the first half of 2024. By collaborating with technology partners and increasing research and development investments, KHC is poised to innovate and respond to evolving consumer preferences, particularly in the wellness and plant-based sectors.

<h2>Expansion and Growth Opportunities for KHC</h2>
Kraft Heinz&#39;s growth strategy hinges on its three key segments. In North America, the ACCELERATE platforms are projected to achieve an annual growth rate of 4% over the next decade. Brands such as Heinz and Ore-Ida are driving this momentum through strategic investments and product innovations. Although challenges exist in Emerging Markets &mdash; most notable in China and Brazil &mdash; Kraft Heinz still managed to post high single-digit growth in the second quarter. In Global Away From Home, its plant resumed operations and the company is successfully expanding into new business areas and non-commercial channels.
The company&#39;s expansion efforts are also global. By bringing successful North American solutions to international markets, Kraft Heinz aims to capture a broader consumer base. Its commitment to innovation is evident in its product pipeline, which contributed to organic net sales. However, as consumer preferences shift, the company must remain agile to adapt to these trends.
<h2>Challenges Linger Amid Positive Developments</h2>
Despite its strategic advantages, Kraft Heinz faces several headwinds. The current consumer landscape is characterized by slow income growth and persistent inflation, factors that have dampened consumer sentiment. In fact, the company registered a 2.4% decline in organic net sales in the second quarter, thanks to lower demand for products like Lunchables.
The downturn is particularly pronounced in North America, where organic net sales fell 2.9%. Internationally, developed markets fared even worse, with a 3.9% decline. These results prompted the company to revise its expectations for organic net sales in 2024, now anticipating a decline of 2% to remain flat.
<h2>Volume Declines and Currency Risks Hurt KHC</h2>
Kraft Heinz&#39;s struggles extend beyond declining sales &mdash; the company also experienced a 3.4 percentage point decline in volume/mix in the second quarter, particularly in North America and developed markets. This trend raises concerns about the sustainability of profitability in the long run. KHC&#39;s extensive international operations expose it to risks from adverse currency fluctuations, which negatively impacted net sales by 1 percentage point in the second quarter.
<h2>Conclusion: A Critical Crossroads for Kraft Heinz</h2>
Kraft Heinz stands at a critical crossroads. While the company has demonstrated solid pricing strategies and maintained strong brand performance, significant challenges loom. The declining consumer demand and operational difficulties present hurdles that could impede future growth. As investors monitor Kraft Heinz&#39;s journey, it will be essential to watch how the company navigates these complexities and capitalizes on its strengths in the coming quarters. At present, Kraft Heinz carries a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
KHC&#39;s stock has increased 9.6% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s 8.8% growth.

Emerging Markets

Is KHC's Pricing Strategy Enough to Sustain Growth Amid Challenges?

McCormick &amp; Company, Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mkc#NYSE">MKC</a>) reported solid third-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein the top and bottom lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and earnings increased year over year.
The company achieved a significant milestone by delivering overall global positive volume growth in the quarter, indicating improving trends across both business segments. The momentum is expected to carry into the fourth quarter. In the Consumer segment, MKC recorded solid volume growth despite facing a challenging macroeconomic environment in China. Meanwhile, in the Flavor Solutions segment, sequential volume improvements were realized, driven by strong growth in Branded Foodservice.
Management continues to bolster its position across major markets and core categories by focusing on growth levers such as brand marketing, product and packaging innovation, category management and proprietary technology. The company expects its cost-saving initiatives to help fund future investments and drive operating margin expansion. The year-to-date results, combined with strategic growth plans, reinforce confidence in achieving the mid-to-high range of projected sales growth for 2024.

McCormick &amp; Company, Incorporated price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | McCormick &amp; Company, Incorporated Quote
</div>
<h2>MKC&#39;s Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics and Insights</h2>
Adjusted earnings of 83 cents per share increased from 65 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The metric came above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 68 cents per share, representing a surprise of 22.1%. The year-over-year upside can be attributed to greater operating profit, the timing of a specific tax benefit and increased income from unconsolidated operations, fueled by robust performance from McCormick de Mexico, the company&#39;s largest joint venture.
This global leader in flavor generated sales of $1,679.8 million, flat year over year, including minimum impacts from currency movements. Impacts from the company&#39;s strategic decision to divest its canning business were offset by a 1% increase in volume backed by the Consumer segment, somewhat negated by pricing. The top line exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,664 million.
McCormick&#39;s gross profit margin expanded 170 basis points. The upside can be attributed to improved mix and cost savings from the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement&nbsp;program.
The adjusted operating income came in at $288 million, up 15% year over year, reflecting gross margin expansion and reduced SG&amp;A expenses.
<h2>Decoding MKC&#39;s Segmental Performance</h2>
Consumer: Sales remained flat year over year at $937.4 million, with a negligible impact on currency movements. Sales were hurt by a 1% decline from pricing actions, offset by 1% volume growth. Volume growth in the Americas and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (&quot;EMEA&quot;) regions was partly negated by declines in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). Sales remained flat year over year in the Americas while moving up 3% in the EMEA region. Segment sales dipped 1% in the APAC.
Flavor Solutions: Sales in the segment inched down 1% to $742.4 million. On a constant-currency basis, sales were flat year over year as a 1% rise in pricing was countered by the company&#39;s strategic move to sell off its canning business. Flavor Solutions&#39; sales in the Americas grew 2%. Flavor Solutions&#39; sales in the EMEA fell by 8%. Sales in the APAC market fell 1% year over year.
<h2>MKC&#39;s Financial Health Snapshot</h2>
McCormick exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $200.8 million, long-term debt of $3,343.1 million and total shareholders&#39; equity of $5,451 million. In the nine months ended Aug. 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $463.2 million.
<h2>What to Expect From MKC in 2024?</h2>
For fiscal 2024, McCormick is focused on strengthening its volume trends and prioritizing investments to fuel profits. The company&#39;s CCI and Global Operating Effectiveness programs are driving growth investments and operating margin expansion. Management anticipates currency movements to have a minimal impact on 2024 results.
For 2024, management expects sales to range between a 1% decline and 1% growth, including minimal currency impacts. The company anticipates witnessing a favorable impact of pricing actions undertaken in the prior year. Volume trends are likely to improve due to solid brands and targeted investments. However, its decision to discontinue the low-margin business and sell the canning business is likely to put some pressure on volume during 2024.
Management expects adjusted operating income to grow 4-6%, including minimal currency impacts. This is likely to be driven by gross margin expansion, somewhat offset by a major rise in brand marketing investments.
Management envisions 2024 adjusted EPS in the band of $2.85-$2.90, which suggests a 5-7% increase from the year-ago period, including minimal currency impacts. On a GAAP basis, McCormick projects 2024 earnings in the range of $2.81- $2.86 per share compared with the year-ago period figure of $2.52.
This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has rallied 17.2% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 8.8%.

Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/post#NYSE">POST</a>) is propelled by strategic initiatives amid a volatile consumer landscape marked by inflation, evolving preferences, and heightened competition in the staples sector. The company&#39;s established brand presence enables it to maintain a stable market position in the sector known for steady demand, as consumer staples are essential in daily life.
A major factor behind this success was the Post Consumer Brands segment, which experienced a 15.7% year-over-year increase in net sales, largely driven by $428.9 million from acquisitions.
Over the past three months, POST&#39;s stock has gained 12%, outpacing the industry&#39;s growth of 7.3%.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/5a/77012.jpg?v=1344778609" />

<h2>Factors Driving Post Holdings&#39; Momentum</h2>
Post Holdings has been capitalizing on strategic pricing actions to offset inflationary pressures, a trend that persisted in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The company&#39;s top and bottom lines experienced growth, driven by higher average net selling prices, particularly in the Post Consumer Brands segment. This pricing strategy has played a critical role in bolstering the company&#39;s performance and is likely to remain a key driver of growth in the coming quarters.
Moving on to the Weetabix segment, it recorded notable growth of 1.4% in net sales, supported by the Deeside acquisition and a modest foreign currency tailwind of 80 basis points from a stronger British pound. This growth reflects the positive impact of strategic acquisitions and favorable currency movements.
Strategic acquisitions have been crucial for Post Holdings in broadening its market reach and solidifying its market position. In December 2023, Post Holdings acquired Perfection Pet, integrating it into its Post Consumer Brands segment. Additionally, on April 28, 2023, Post Holdings acquired a select pet food brand from The J.M. Smucker Co. This acquisition provides Post Holdings with a strategic entry into the burgeoning and lucrative pet food market, enhancing its presence in this growing category.
The third quarter of 2024 was marked by strong sales of branded and big cereal products, notable outperformance in the pet category against our underwriting case, and a substantial improvement in the value-added egg mix. It is envisioned that these favorable trends will continue throughout fiscal 2025.
<h2>POST Faces Some Concerns in the Near Term</h2>
Post Holdings has experienced a rise in SG&amp;A costs over recent quarters. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, SG&amp;A expenses grew by 7.8%. This increase was due to ongoing targeted marketing investments in retail businesses. This increase was significantly influenced by the inclusion of Pet Food in the company&#39;s portfolio.
The Refrigerated Retail segment of Post Holdings reported a 7.1% decrease in net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Volumes decreased by 0.5%, and average net prices dropped due to increased trade promotions and a portfolio shift towards dinner sides. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 37%, impacted by lower net pricing and higher selling costs.
While Post Holdings has demonstrated strong performance in certain areas, such as strategic pricing and acquisitions, challenges persist in segments like Refrigerated Retail. Maintaining positions in the stock appears prudent as it allows investors to stay engaged with the company while monitoring its ability to address current challenges and capitalize on growth opportunities.
Post Holdings currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

<h2>HAIN Provides Q4 Revenue &amp; Profit Insights by Segment</h2>
Net sales in the North America segment tumbled 8% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure to $260 million. Segmental organic net sales fell 5% year over year, mainly due to reduced personal care sales, partly owing to portfolio simplification and a decline in infant formula sales within the baby and kids category. This drop was partially offset by growth in the snacks segment. We expected North America&#39;s sales to fall 7.6% to $260.3 million in the reported quarter.
The segment&#39;s adjusted EBITDA amounted to $21 million, down from $27 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter dropped to 8% from 9.6% reported in the year-ago quarter.
The International segment&#39;s net sales fell 4% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure to $159 million. Segmental organic net sales also fell 4% year over year, primarily due to lower sales in plant-based meat alternatives within the meal prep category and a decline in snacks. The downside was partially offset by growth in the beverages segment. We had anticipated the segment&#39;s sales to decline 6.6% to $155.1 million in the reported quarter.
The segment&#39;s adjusted EBITDA was $27 million, flat year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter expanded 40 bps to 17%.

Ollie's Expands Supply With New Distribution Hub

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nus#NYSE">NUS</a>) has not been in its best shape lately, with its shares down 27.7% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s 21.3% decline. Additionally, this beauty and wellness product company has trailed the broader Zacks Consumer Staples sector and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s respective growth of 1.2% and 4.2%.
Despite being a prominent player in the beauty and wellness industry, Nu Skin has struggled to navigate a series of macroeconomic headwinds that have dampened consumer spending, particularly on premium products. Additionally, the company has been severely impacted by stronger-than-expected foreign currency fluctuations and ongoing pressures within the direct selling industry, contributing to a disappointing second-quarter 2024 performance.
Considering the company&#39;s first-half 2024 performance and rising foreign exchange headwinds, management tightened the annual guidance range for 2024 in its second-quarter earnings release.

<h3>Macroeconomic Hurdles Persist</h3>
Nu Skin has been encountering persistent macroeconomic obstacles, which continued in the second quarter of 2024. The company&#39;s performance was hurt by continuous macroeconomic headwinds across most regions, which weighed on consumer spending and customer acquisition, especially for premium products. Additionally, NUS grappled with pressures in the direct selling industry.
These headwinds, along with foreign adverse currency fluctuations, hurt Nu Skin&#39;s quarterly revenues, which tumbled 12.2% year over year to $439.1 million in the second quarter. On a constant-currency basis, revenues fell 8%.&nbsp; Sales leaders were down 16% year over year to 38,592. Nu Skin&#39;s customer base dropped 14% to 893,514. The company&#39;s paid affiliates were down 17% to 155,486. On an adjusted basis, paid affiliates tumbled 9%.
<h3>Volatile Currency Movements</h3>
Nu Skin&#39;s strong international presence exposes it to the risk of volatile currency movements. Any adverse currency fluctuation is likely to weigh on the company&#39;s operating performance. Nu Skin&#39;s second-quarter 2024 revenues witnessed strong currency headwinds. Revenues included a negative impact of 4.2% from foreign currency fluctuations. The company envisions unfavorable foreign currency impacts of around 4-3% on third-quarter and 2024 revenues.
<h3>Bumpy Road Ahead</h3>
The operating environment for Nu Skin&#39;s core business remains challenging, primarily due to macroeconomic factors and pressures within the direct selling industry. Nu Skin now anticipates revenues in the band of $1.73-$1.81 billion for 2024, which suggests a 12-8% decline from the year-ago period&#39;s reported figure. Earlier, the metric was expected in the range of $1.73-$1.87 billion. Management envisions an adjusted earnings per share of 75-95 cents. The projection suggests a decline from adjusted earnings of $1.85 recorded in 2023. Management had earlier envisioned an adjusted EPS of 95 cents to $1.35 for 2024.
For the third quarter of 2024, the company expects revenues between $430 million and $465 million, which suggests a decline of 14% to 7% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported level. NUS expects adjusted earnings in the band of 15-25 cents a share in the third quarter compared with 56 cents recorded in the same period last year.
<h3>Estimates Lose Sheen</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings per share has declined from $1.10 to 78 cents over the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for the third-quarter EPS has tumbled from 48 to 20 cents in the same time frame. This downward adjustment reflects a negative sentiment among analysts and suggests potential challenges in achieving projected profitability.

<h3>Wrapping Up</h3>
Nu Skin is navigating through a turbulent period, with its stock performance reflecting the ongoing macroeconomic and industry-specific challenges. While the company is actively pursuing strategic initiatives to reinvigorate its market presence and drive growth through new product launches and the strength of its Rhyz business, these efforts may take time to bear fruit. In the near term, the combination of persistent headwinds and tighter guidance suggests that Nu Skin faces a difficult road ahead.
Investors should remain cautious, keeping a close eye on how the company manages these challenges and whether its strategic initiatives can offset the current pressures. Nu Skin presently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Nu Skin Down 28% in 3 Months: What's the Next Best Move?

Lowe&#39;s Companies, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/low#NYSE">LOW</a>) came up with second-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein the top line fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while the bottom line surpassed the same. This Mooresville, NC-based company experienced a year-over-year decline in both metrics and continued with its trend of dismal comparable sales.
The drop in big-ticket discretionary spending among Do-It-Yourself customers, along with adverse weather affecting seasonal and other outdoor categories, hurt the company&#39;s performance. These challenges, coupled with a difficult macroeconomic backdrop, led management to revise its full-year forecast downward.
On a positive note, Lowe&#39;s Total Home strategy showed continued progress, driven by growth in the Pro segment and online sales. The company achieved mid-single-digit growth in comparable sales with Pro customers.
<h3>Q2 in Detail</h3>
The home improvement retailer posted adjusted quarterly earnings of $4.10 per share, which came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.96. However, the figure marked a decline from earnings of $4.56 per share reported in the same period last year.
Net sales of $23,586 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $23,907 million and fell 5.5% year over year. Comparable sales for the quarter declined 5.1%, primarily due to muted demand from DIY customers, partly offset by strength in the Pro segment and online sales. We had expected a comparable sales decline of 4.2%.
The gross profit declined 6% year over year to $7,895 million, whereas the gross margin shrunk 20 basis points to 33.5%. We had expected a gross margin contraction of 40 basis points.
The operating income decreased 11.3% to $3,447 million, while the operating margin shrunk 100 basis points to 14.6%. The company reported an adjusted operating income of $3,404 million and an adjusted operating margin of 14.4%.

Lowe's Q2 Earnings Beat, Comps Fall & FY24 Outlook Cut

The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/el#NYSE">EL</a>) reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein the top and bottom lines increased year over year and beat the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate even amid a tough landscape.
For fiscal 2025, management expects continued sluggishness in the prestige beauty segment in China, mainly due to ongoing weak consumer sentiment. In other areas of the business, the company plans to deliver improved performance across both developed and emerging markets.
<h3>Quarter in Detail</h3>
The company posted adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 25 cents. The bottom line increased significantly from earnings of 7 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EPS was 67 cents at constant currency or cc.

The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. Quote
Net sales of $3,871 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,833 million. The top line advanced 7% year over year despite sluggishness in core business areas, especially mainland China, Asia travel retail and North America.
Organic net sales rose 8%, courtesy of increases in all product categories, led by Skin Care, which was backed by EL&#39;s global travel retail business. The growth in organic net sales also shows strength across markets in the EMEA, offset by declines in the Americas and Asia/Pacific.
The gross profit came in at $2,778 million, up 14% year over year. The gross margin came in at 71.8%, up from 67.8% reported in the year-ago quarter.
The adjusted operating income came in at $349 million, up significantly from $71 million reported in the year-ago period. The operating income margin soared to around 9% from nearly 2% reported in the year-ago quarter.
</div>
<h3>Product-Based Segment Results</h3>
Skin Care&#39;s sales were up 13% year over year to $2,035 million. Makeup revenues remained flat year over year at $1,105 million. In the Fragrance category, revenues of $539 million dipped 1% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s figure. Hair Care sales totaled $165 million, up 1% year over year.
<h3>Regional Results</h3>
Sales in the Americas fell 5% year over year at $1,014 million, resulting from company-specific hurdles, an intensified competitive landscape and a general slowdown in prestige beauty growth in North America.
Revenues in the EMEA region grew 32% to $1,652 million, mainly driven by the Makeup category. In the Asia-Pacific region, sales tumbled 7% to $1,205 million, largely due to weakness in mainland China.
<h3>Other Updates</h3>
The Estee Lauder Companies exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $3,395 million, long-term debt of $7,267 million and total equity of $5,314 million.
The net cash flow provided by operating activities for the 12 months ended Jun 30, 2024 was $2.36 billion. Capital expenditures during this time amounted to $0.92 billion. For fiscal 2025, net cash flow from operating activities is likely to be in the band of $1.8-$2.0 billion. Capital expenditures are expected to be nearly 5%-5.5% of the forecasted sales.
The Estee Lauder Companies returned $0.95 billion to shareholders through dividend payouts in fiscal 2024. In a separate press release, the company has declared a quarterly dividend of 66 cents per share on Class A and Class B shares. The dividend will be paid out on Sep 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of Aug 30.
The Estee Lauder Companies acquired the multi-brand company DECIEM Beauty Group Inc. in May 2024.
<h3>Fiscal 2025 Outlook</h3>
Management anticipates global prestige beauty growth of 2%-3% in fiscal 2025, driven by sustained strength across many developed and emerging markets worldwide. However, this growth will be moderated by more subdued performance in key markets like North America and offset by continued declines in mainland China and Asia travel retail, where consumer sentiment and conversion rates remain low. For fiscal 2026, the company expects global prestige beauty to regain momentum, returning to historical mid-single-digit growth.
For fiscal 2025, the company projects a more restrained performance compared to the industry average, largely due to its substantial business presence in mainland China and Asia travel retail. Nevertheless, EL anticipates accelerated net sales growth in other regions, fueled by strategic initiatives aimed at revitalizing Skin Care, leveraging the growth drivers of high-end Fragrance, rapidly capitalizing on successful channels, launching innovative and accretive new products and enhancing precision marketing capabilities.
The company is committed to executing its Profit Recovery and Growth Plan (&quot;PRGP&quot;), previously known as the Profit Recovery Plan, which has been renamed to better reflect its dual focus on accelerating sales growth and recovering profit margins. The PRGP is structured to enhance the gross margin, reduce EL&#39;s cost base, establish expense leverage even at lower sales growth levels, and boost agility and speed-to-market.
The PRGP initiatives are likely to generate operating profit net savings in the band of $1.1-$1.4 billion in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, with slightly more than half of these savings anticipated to be realized by the end of fiscal 2025. However, the strong challenges in mainland China and Asia travel retail are likely to partially offset the initial net benefits of the PRGP.
Additionally, management is carefully monitoring potential risks, such as retailer destocking, which may be influenced by factors like weak consumer sentiment, causing ongoing declines in the prestige beauty market in mainland China and Asia travel retail. Additionally, changes in traveler behavior, with more people spending on experiences instead of products, are affecting Asia travel retail. The company also faces the challenge of adapting to shifts in sales channels and navigating tough competition, particularly as the prestige beauty market slows down in North America.
All said, for fiscal 2025, management projects net sales and organic sales growth in the range of 1% decrease to 2% growth.
The adjusted operating margin for the fiscal is envisioned in the band of 11-11.5%, including gains from PRGP. Adjusted EPS is expected to grow 7-5% to the $2.78-$2.98 band at cc.
<h3>Q1 Guidance</h3>
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, The Estee Lauder Companies anticipates reported and organic net sales to decline 5-3% year over year. Adjusted EPS, on a cc basis, is expected to slump 89-17% to 1-9 cents.
This Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) stock has tumbled 27.6% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s decline of 21.3%.

Estee Lauder Q4 Earnings Top, Asia Travel Retail Sluggish

Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hele#NASDAQ">HELE</a>) is struggling with operational challenges, heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and a financially-strained consumer environment. HELE is grappling with high costs that are impacting its performance. Unimpressively, the company posted soft results in first-quarter fiscal 2025, following which it lowered its outlook for the fiscal 2025.
The Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) company&#39;s shares have slumped 57.4% year to date against the industry&#39;s 32.8% decline. The stock has underperformed the Zacks Consumer Staple sector&#39;s appreciation of 6.2% during this time.
Let&#39;s delve deeper.
<h3>Lower Demand Dampens Performance</h3>
Helen of Troy is facing a tough macroeconomic environment with lower consumer and retailer demand. Consumers are prioritizing essentials over discretionary items, leading to a slowdown in sales for outdoor products, specialty and mass beauty items and other discretionary household goods like dry food storage. Retailers are tightening inventory management in response, which is heightening the company&#39;s exposure to market volatility and reducing clarity on order volumes and timing.
These factors put pressure on HELE&#39;s first-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with the top and the bottom line missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declining year over year. Quarterly net sales of $416.8 million fell 12.2%, mainly due to reduced sales of hair appliances and prestige hair care products in the Beauty &amp; Wellness unit and lower demand for humidifiers. Quarterly adjusted earnings of 99 cents per share declined 49% due to reduced adjusted operating income and higher tax rates.

<h3>High-Cost Environment</h3>
Helen of Troy has been struggling with rising selling, general and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses. In first-quarter fiscal 2025, the SG&amp;A ratio expanded 560 basis points to 40.9%, driven by higher marketing costs, operational inefficiencies from automation issues at the Tennessee distribution facility, increased depreciation and rising health insurance and product liability expenses. This led to a 35.1% drop in adjusted operating income to $43 million and a 360-bps contraction in the adjusted operating margin to 10.3%, primarily due to increased marketing expenses and automation-related costs, among other reasons.
<h3>Road Ahead Seems Challenging</h3>
Considering the operational challenges, heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, a financially-stressed consumer base, increased promotional activity and stricter inventory management by retailers, management recently revised its fiscal 2025 forecast downward.
For the fiscal 2025, HELE anticipates consolidated net sales revenues in the range of $1.885-$1.935 billion, indicating a decline of 6% to 3.5% compared with the previous expectation of a 2% decline to 1% growth. This updated sales outlook reflects ongoing concerns about persistent inflation and persistent softness in consumer spending, particularly in certain discretionary product categories. The revised forecast considers anticipated challenges in operational performance at the Tennessee distribution facility, along with heightened macroeconomic uncertainty.
Adjusted earnings per share are now projected to range from $7.00 to $7.50, indicating a decline of 15.8% to 21.4% for the fiscal 2025. Previously, the metric was anticipated to be between $8.70 and $9.20.

HELE

Helen of Troy's Stock Down More Than 57% YTD: Here's Why

Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwl#NASDAQ">NWL</a>) stock has been under pressure lately, with shares dropping as much as 21.5% in the past three months, while the broader Zacks Consumer Products &ndash; Staples industry has dipped 1.9%. The stock&#39;s current trading level is 36% below its 52-week high of $10.72.
The company has been witnessing a challenging macroeconomic environment and elevated levels of core inflation that have led to muted demand for discretionary and durable products. This resulted in a 7.8% year-over-year decline in second-quarter 2024 revenues, following a revenue decline of 4.2% year over year in the preceding quarter. The decline was driven by reduced core sales, adverse currency impacts and business exits.
Looking ahead, Newell Brands management provided a dismal outlook for the upcoming quarters. For the third quarter, the company expects a 4-6% decline in net sales, with core sales anticipated to be between flat and a 2% decline. For 2024, it forecasts a year-over-year sales decrease of 6-7%, alongside a core sales decline of 3-4%.
These estimates reflect anticipated pressure on various product categories, with expected declines in low single digits. Additionally, the company has been facing a higher-than-previously anticipated headwind from foreign exchange, backed by current spot rates. This challenging outlook underscores the difficulties Newell Brands is encountering in the current economic environment.
Due to the persistent challenges of inflation and the volatile nature of market conditions, management is not very optimistic about its earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings per share is pegged at 65 cents, indicating a decline of 19% year over year.

<h3>What Could Turn the Tables for Newell?</h3>
Newell Brands is focused on enhancing productivity and efficiency through various initiatives, including productivity plans, automation, and the full rollout of Project Ovid. The company has been looking to optimize its category mix within each business unit. Additionally, Project Phoenix, aimed at reducing overhead costs and streamlining operations, is expected to contribute positively to the company&#39;s results.
Despite the recent slowdown, Newell Brand has shown resilience in its core business. The company&#39;s third-quarter fiscal 2024 results demonstrated 490 basis points (bps) gross margin expansion, driven by gains from the productivity program and pricing actions. This marked the fourth straight quarter of gross margin expansion for NWL. Normalized operating margin increased 170 bps, backed by productivity, pricing, favorable mix, and organizational restructuring-related savings.
Further, the company is enhancing its front-end commercial capabilities through consumer-driven innovations. Upcoming products include the Graco SmartSense Soothing Bassinet and Swing, and the Rubbermaid Brilliance line. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is also on track to launch the battery-powered Rubbermaid Commercial carts and the FoodSaver Handheld Plus, a cordless vacuum sealer for food preservation.
Newell Brands is advancing its e-commerce efforts by investing in digital channels and enhancing customer engagement. The company has implemented buy-online, pick-up in-store, and ship-from-store services at its Yankee Candle stores. These traits position the company for long-term growth.

Newell Stock Declines 22% in 3 Months: Can it Rebound?

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>) has once again demonstrated its strength with another successful month of sales. Its solid July sales numbers reflect an effective business strategy. The warehouse operator excels through strategic growth initiatives, smart pricing and strong membership trends, all of which have contributed to its impressive performance. Let&#39;s delve into the details of Costco&#39;s recent performance and explore why this retail giant remains a dominant force in the market.
<h3>Let&#39;s Dig Deeper</h3>
The retailer&#39;s comparable sales for July illustrate its market strength across various regions. For the four weeks ended Aug 4, 2024, comparable sales in the United States grew by 5.3%, while Canada and Other International markets saw increases of 6.3% and 3.7%, respectively. The total company comparable sales rose by 5.2%. This stellar performance follows consecutive increases of 5.3% and 6.4% in June and May, respectively.
When adjusting for the effects of gasoline prices and foreign exchange rates, Costco&#39;s comparable sales paint an even more impressive picture. In the United States, comparable sales, excluding these factors, rose by 6.3% in July, while Canada and Other International markets posted gains of 10.2% and 8.9%, respectively. The company&#39;s total comparable sales, excluding these external factors, increased by 7.2%.
One of the standout aspects of Costco&#39;s July performance was its 20.2% increase in e-commerce comparable sales. This growth was even more pronounced when excluding the impacts of gasoline prices and foreign exchange, with e-commerce sales surging 21.1%. The surge in online sales underscores the company&#39;s effective digital strategy and ability to cater to the evolving shopping preferences of consumers.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/5a/73980.jpg?v=26719434" />

As a result, Costco&#39;s net sales for July increased 7.1%, reaching $19.26 billion, up from $17.99 billion in the same period last year. This follows improvements of 7.4% in June and 8.1% in May, reflecting a strong and consistent sales performance in the past few months.
Another new unfolding at Costco is the introduction of membership scanning devices at warehouse entrances. This change will require members to scan their physical or digital cards before entering using the barcode or QR code. The step ensures improved member shopping experience and weed out non-members.
<h3>Wrapping Up</h3>
Costco stands tall among its peers, boasting a wide array of high-quality merchandise. Its distinctive membership-based business model and pricing strength differentiate it from traditional competitors. The emphasis on bulk sales and efficient inventory management allows it to keep prices low, making it a preferred shopping destination for budget-conscious consumers.
We believe a favorable product mix, membership growth, pricing power and strong liquidity should benefit Costco. Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have advanced 19.7% in the past six months compared with the Retail &ndash; Discount Stores industry&#39;s rise of 8.7%.

Momentum investors typically don&#39;t time the market or &quot;buy low and sell high.&quot; In other words, they avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. Instead, they believe that &quot;buying high and selling higher&quot; is the way to make far more money in lesser time.
Who doesn&#39;t like betting on fast-moving trending stocks? But determining the right entry point isn&#39;t easy. Often, these stocks lose momentum once their valuation moves ahead of their future growth potential. In such a situation, investors find themselves loaded up on expensive shares with limited to no upside or even a downside. So, going all-in on momentum could be risky at times.
It could be safer to invest in bargain stocks that have been witnessing price momentum recently. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score, which pays close attention to trends in a stock&#39;s price or earnings, is pretty useful in identifying great momentum stocks, our &#39;Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain&#39; screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
Chefs&#39; Warehouse (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chef#NASDAQ">CHEF</a>) is one of the several great candidates that made it through the screen. While there are numerous reasons why this stock is a great choice, here are the most vital ones:
A dash of recent price momentum reflects growing interest of investors in a stock. With a four-week price change of 2.6%, the stock of this distributor of specialty food products is certainly well-positioned in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. CHEF meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 6.4% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for CHEF is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 2.3. This indicates that the stock moves 130% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that CHEF has a Momentum Score of B, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped CHEF earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That&#39;s because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up.
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, CHEF is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. CHEF is currently trading at 0.43 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 43 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, CHEF appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.
In addition to CHEF, there are several other stocks that currently pass through our &#39;Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain&#39; screen. You may consider investing in them and start looking for the newest stocks that fit these criteria.
This is not the only screen that could help you find your next winning stock pick. Based on your personal investing style, you may choose from over 45 Zacks Premium Screens that are strategically created to beat the market.
However, keep in mind that the key to a successful stock-picking strategy is to ensure that it produced profitable results in the past.
