Helen Of Troy Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HELE#NASDAQ">HELE</a>) shares surged after the company reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41246445/helen-of-troy-limited-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter results, reaffirming its FY25 sales and EPS outlook</a>.
The company reported a second-quarter sales decline of 3.5% year-over-year to $474.221 million, beating the analyst consensus of $458.237 million.
The decrease in sales was primarily driven by a decline in Beauty &amp; Wellness due to lower sales of hair appliances, air purifiers, and humidifiers.
Total net sales revenue for the Home &amp; Outdoor segment increased 0.8% year over year, while Beauty &amp; Wellness declined 7.7%.
Adjusted EPS declined 34.1% YoY to $1.21, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus estimate of $1.04.</a>
The gross profit margin decreased by 116 bps to 45.6%. The operating margin contracted 220 basis points to 7.3%, and operating income for the quarter declined 25.6% to $34.85 million.
Adjusted operating income decreased 25.5% to $46.4 million, and the margin fell to 9.8% from 12.7% year over year.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 22.2% to $55.8 million, with the margin down to 11.8% compared to 14.6%.
As of August end, the company held $20.14 million in cash and equivalents. Operating cash flow for the six months totaled $69.92 million, compared to $157.73 million a year ago. Free cash flow totaled $55.89 million.
Inventory was $469.6 million, compared to $435.7 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Noel M. Geoffroy, CEO, commented: &#8220;We are pleased to report&nbsp;second quarter&nbsp;results that were above expectations and we are reaffirming our annual&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;for net sales, adjusted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA. During the quarter, we took decisive actions toward our long-term strategic initiatives, including strengthening the core and further shaping our growth portfolio.&#8221;
2025 Outlook: Helen Of Troy continues to expect consolidated net sales revenue in the range of $1.885 billion &#8211; $1.935 billion versus the consensus of $1.896 billion and adjusted EPS of $7.00 &#8211; $7.50 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">versus the consensus of $7.12.</a>
The company continues to expect adjusted EBITDA of $287 million to $297 million, which implies a decline of 14.6% to 11.8%, as benefits from Project Pegasus are reinvested for growth.
HELE updates its free cash flow guidance to $180 million &#8211; $200 million, compared to the previous range of $200 million &#8211; $240 million. It now expects a net leverage ratio of 1.90x to 1.80x, compared to the prior range of 1.60x to 1.50x.

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

See-sawing mood persists on Wall Street as the index futures point to a marginally lower start on Wednesday after the tech-led rebound witnessed in the previous session. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is advancing in premarket and the rest of the big techs were just about higher. Commodities are weakening and bond yields are easing. Federal Reserve&#8217;s September rate-setting meeting minutes, speeches by Fed officials and developments around Hurricane Milton&#8217;s landfall in Florida could be on traders&#8217; radar.
Some may choose to move to the sidelines ahead of Thursday&#8217;s consumer price inflation report which is expected to show a further easing in pricing pressure. Some key earnings reports are also expected to drop over the next two sessions, which is likely to give early indications regarding how this reporting season will pan out.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rose over 4% after contracts electronics manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

<h2>Technical Indicators Substantiating SN Stock&#39;s Growth</h2>
SN stock is currently trading above its 50-day simple moving average, signaling a bullish trend.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/c9/77949.jpg?v=15274744" />

This technical strength highlights positive market sentiment and confidence in SN&#39;s financial stability and prospects.
<h2>Factors Solidifying SharkNinja&#39;s Stock Rally</h2>
Product Innovation to Fuel Future Growth: SN&#39;s growth relies heavily on continuous product innovation, focusing on expanding its current offerings and exploring adjacent categories. To maintain its rapid innovation, the company will need to sustain significant investment in Research and Development (R&amp;D).
In 2024, SN plans to launch 25 new products, including four new subcategories. Key launches so far include the Shark FlexBreeze portable fan (January), Ninja FrostVault cooler (March), and Ninja Slushi frozen beverage system (July). A new beauty segment product is scheduled for the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, SN is preparing to enter new categories, with potential launches such as power-operated lawn and garden tools, portable heaters, gas-powered grills, ovens, and steamers, as indicated by recent trademark filings.
International Expansion Substantiates Growth Potential: SN&#39;s international expansion strategy is gaining momentum, with 46% growth in its international segment in the second quarter. The company has built solid relationships with key retailers and accumulated local expertise over the years.
Strong growth opportunities are emerging in markets like the Nordics, Benelux, Poland, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and the Middle East. SN plans to enter Brazil in the fourth quarter, focusing on its beauty and motorized kitchen appliances. With further opportunities in Latin America and a proven international strategy, SN is well-positioned for long-term top-line growth.
Flexible Supply Chain Shields Freight &amp; Tariff Headwinds: SharkNinja has successfully managed a dynamic supply chain by securing long-term freight contracts with a diverse range of carriers, helping the company avoid capacity constraints and related cost spikes. Additionally, SharkNinja has been proactively diversifying its sourcing to mitigate the impact of rising tariffs on Chinese imports.
The company remains committed to eliminating all Chinese exposure for U.S.-bound products by the end of 2025. With ongoing capacity expansion in Southeast Asia, SharkNinja is accelerating efforts to safeguard its supply chain and ensure long-term growth stability.
Omni-Channel Strategy Drives Growth: SN has consistently prioritized reaching consumers across all shopping channels. As consumer shopping behaviors evolve, the company has adapted its omnichannel strategy to meet these changes. SN continues to invest in expanding its sales teams to meet rising consumer demand and strengthen relationships with both physical and online retailers. The success of this strategy depends on several factors, including retailer satisfaction with product sales and profitability, SN&#39;s ability to innovate, and its capacity to maintain and expand into more product categories.
<h2>SN&#39;s Estimate Movement</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SN&#39;s EPS has increased over the past 60 days. This depicts that there is solid upside potential for the stock. SN delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 14.3%, on average.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/63/77948.jpg?v=681440628" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Impressively, SN currently flaunts a Growth Score of A.
<h2>Potential Risks for SN Stock</h2>
The above-mentioned factors are strongly in favor of SharkNinja&#39;s stock growth, but some potential risks are worth considering while making an investment strategy.
SharkNinja remains cautious of macroeconomic factors such as consumer confidence, demographic shifts, employment levels, inflation, and other economic indicators that could affect its performance. Additionally, the company&#39;s sales are influenced by seasonality, with the first and second quarters being particularly impactful.
<h2>SN Stock Not so Cheap</h2>
SN&#39;s stock is currently overvalued compared to its industry, as shown in the chart below. This high price-to-earnings ratio could indicate that the stock is overvalued in its industry, suggesting stretched valuation for SN.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/2c/77946.jpg?v=231954422" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
SharkNinja continues to outperform in a challenging market, driven by its focus on newness and innovation that resonates with increasingly value-conscious consumers. While other industry peers face uncertainty, SharkNinja&#39;s first-half 2024 results have exceeded expectations. The company&#39;s growth across its four major product categories, alongside supply chain optimizations, sourcing strategies, and regional expansion, positions it for continued success despite broader industry challenges.
<img alt="Roadshow Presentation" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/ba/77945.jpg?v=1043214907" />

Although the macroeconomic risk associated with the high-interest rate environment cautions investors, upward revisions in earnings estimates reinforce SN&#39;s Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This makes SN an attractive addition to investors&#39; portfolios at present.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

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.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<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.
<h3>Better-Ranked Staple Bets</h3>
The Chef&#39;s Warehouse (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chef#NASDAQ">CHEF</a>), which distributes specialty food products, currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). CHEF has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 33.7%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for The Chef&#39;s Warehouse&#39;s current fiscal year sales and earnings indicates growth of 9.7% and 12.6%, respectively, from the year-ago reported numbers.
Vital Farms (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vitl#NASDAQ">VITL</a>) offers a range of produced pasture-raised foods. It currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). VITL has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 82.5%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Vital Farms&#39; current financial-year sales and earnings indicate growth of 26.3% and 88.1%, respectively, from the prior-year reported level.
Nomad Foods (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nomd#NYSE">NOMD</a>), carrying a Zacks Rank #2, manufactures and distributes frozen foods. NOMD has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.1%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Nomad Foods&#39; current financial-year sales and earnings indicates growth of 4.3% and 11.5%, respectively, from the prior-year reported level.
