Canaccord Genuity Maintains Buy on Helen Of Troy, Lowers Price Target to $53

Helen of Troy Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HELE#NASDAQ">HELE</a>) shares are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">trading lower on Thursday</a> after the fourth-quarter FY25 earnings.
The company reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44974553/helen-of-troy-limited-reports-fourth-quarter-fiscal-2025-results">fourth-quarter 2025 sales decline of 0.7%</a> year-on-year to $485.89 million. It beat the analyst consensus estimate of $482.67 million.
The drop in sales was primarily driven by a decrease from Organic business of $23.9 million, or 4.9%.
Total net sales revenue for the Home &amp; Outdoor segment declined 1.6%, to $219.8 million. Beauty &amp; Wellness climbed 0.1%, to $266.1 million. Adjusted EPS of $2.33 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">missed the consensus </a>estimate of $2.40.
The gross profit margin contracted 40 basis points to 48.6%. The operating margin contracted to 0.4% from 13.5% last year due to $51.5 million in non-cash asset impairment charges.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 10.6% to $84.3 million, with a margin of 17.4% compared to 19.3%.
As of quarter-end, the company held $18.9 million in cash and equivalents. Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled $35 million, with a free cash flow of $27.1 million, both down year over year.
"As we enter Fiscal 2026, we find ourselves in volatile times. The rapidly changing global tariff actions are creating significant uncertainty in the marketplace which we believe will have a profound impact on the economy broadly, and consumer sentiment specifically, making business planning a challenge," said CEO Noel M. Geoffroy.
Inventory was $452.6 million versus $396 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter, the company completed Project Pegasus, which resulted in total pre-tax restructuring charges of $60.9 million.
Due to evolving global tariff policies and the related business and macroeconomic uncertainty, Helen of Troy did not provide an outlook for fiscal 2026.
The company expects to reduce its cost of goods sold exposed to China tariffs to less than 20% by the end of fiscal 2026.
Price Action: HELE shares traded lower by 14.23% at $29.26 at last check Thursday.

Shares of companies in the broader retail and apparel sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

COLM

CPRI

Shares of retail and apparel stocks are trading lower as investors weigh the potential impacts of tariffs on the sector. Economic uncertainty could also cloud consumer spending outlook.

Numerous public companies have updated their 2025 guidance in response to the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada, but additional tariffs on other countries could have significant impacts, DA Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser warned in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">new note to clients on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to announce tariffs on potentially trillions of dollars worth of goods imported to the U.S. on Wednesday.
The potential impacts are wide-ranging. Bolton Weiser flagged several names under her coverage umbrella that could be impacted in the Health &amp; Beauty and Leisure space. The analyst noted additional tariffs are &#8220;not reflected in estimates.&#8221;

</ul>
Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries at a White House event at 4 p.m. ET. The Trump administration has said the tariffs could target specific sectors.
The tariff announcements have created uncertainty across markets with the S&amp;P 500 crossing into correction territory last month. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.46% at $563.55 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The SPY is still down about 4% year-to-date and well off its highs from February.

The decrease in sales was primarily driven by a decline in sales of Beauty &amp; Wellness.

&#8220;Beauty &amp; Wellness was negatively impacted by a weak illness season globally, including the weakest in the U.S. in the past eight years (excluding the COVID anomaly year of 2020-2021) and continued softness in Beauty,&#8221; said CEO Noel M. Geoffroy.
Inventory was $450.7 million versus $426 million in the third quarter of 2024. Helen Of Troy reaffirmed a one-time pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $50 million – $55 million over the duration of Project Pegasus, expected to be completed during fiscal 2025.
