Company News
Helen of Troy (HELE), parent of OXO kitchen gadgets, reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings on October 8. Revenue rose 2.1% to $440.9 million, led by a 9.2% rise in Home and Outdoor, while Beauty and Wellness fell 4.5%. The stock has more than doubled in seven months from a 10-year low of $13.85, yet it is down 89% from its January 2021 peak of $265.97. It trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 6.81, against a 10-year average of 13.48. Margins remain weak after $886 million in impairment charges last year. Net debt is $649.2 million, about equal to its market value. Management now expects adjusted earnings of $3.88 a share in 2027, up from $3.50, with tariff refunds supplying nearly 10% of that. Analysts' average target price is $30.50, about $2.50 above the current share price.
US weekly jobless claims fell to 197,000, marking the fourth consecutive week below 200,000 and the lowest post-pandemic level. Continuing claims rose slightly to 1.716 million from a revised 1.699 million. The figures demonstrate strength in the labour market despite flat monthly jobs data, suggesting a "low hire/low fire" environment. September's jobs report showed only 29,000 positions added. The steady employment picture supports the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates at 3.75-4.00%, despite inflation at 3.4% remaining above target levels. PepsiCo exceeded Q3 expectations with earnings of $2.34 per share on revenues of $25.27 billion. Helen of Troy reported fiscal Q2 earnings of $0.79 per share, beating estimates of $0.51 by 54.9%.
Helen of Troy reported first quarter fiscal 2027 results with consolidated net sales growing 8.2% to $402.1 million, up from $371.7 million in the prior year period. The El Paso, Texas-based company posted GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.51, which included a $1.74 after-tax gain from selling a distribution facility. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $0.17, down from $0.41 in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit margin declined to 46.0% from 47.1%. The company raised its full fiscal 2027 consolidated net sales outlook to $1.759–$1.831 billion whilst maintaining adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $3.25–$3.75. CEO G. Scott Uzzell said the results reflect "early signs of progress" on the company's multi-year roadmap and disciplined execution across both business segments.
Helen of Troy Limited has raised analyst price targets to $29.33 following its latest annual results, despite reporting statutory losses of $39.08 per share. The company's revenues of $1.8 billion met analyst forecasts, whilst losses were 7.7% larger than expected. Four analysts now forecast 2027 revenues of $1.79 billion, roughly flat year-on-year, with the company expected to turn profitable at $2.62 earnings per share. The consensus price target rose 19%, with estimates ranging from $23.00 to $40.00 per share. Analysts anticipate Helen of Troy's years of declining revenue will end, marking an improvement on the past five years' 4.4% annual revenue shrinkage. However, the company is still expected to grow slower than the industry average of 4.9% annually.
Helen of Troy has outlined a multi-phase transformation strategy focused on restoring top-line growth, designating fiscal 2027 as a "year of restoration". The company is shifting to a brand-led operating model and reducing China tariff exposure to under 20% by year-end, down from approximately 30%. Fourth-quarter net sales exceeded expectations despite macro headwinds and a weak flu season impacting its Wellness business. The company sold its Southaven distribution facility for $78 million, immediately applying proceeds to debt reduction. Fiscal 2027 guidance assumes heavily back-half weighted earnings, with first-quarter results expected near breakeven as tariff costs impact margins. Management has implemented $50 million in price increases and plans to increase growth investment by 40 basis points, prioritising innovation and digital commerce capabilities across platforms like TikTok.
