Edgewell Personal Care (NYSE:EPC) has issued its FY 2026 earnings guidance, projecting an EPS of $1.70 to $2.10, slightly above the consensus estimate of $1.90. The company anticipates revenue to be around the consensus estimate of $2.0 billion. Shares of EPC were up 6.2% at market open following the announcement, with analysts holding a "Hold" consensus rating and an average target price of $24.17.
Edgewell Personal Care's stock has risen by 20.6% in the last six months, outperforming the S&P 500, but faces significant financial risks. Analysts express caution due to flat organic revenue growth, a 6.4 percentage point decline in operating margin over the last year, and a high debt burden of $1.55 billion against only $223.3 million in cash. The company's net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio stands at 6x, indicating substantial leverage that could lead to increased borrowing costs if profitability continues to weaken.
Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE:EPC) experienced a significant 35.7% increase in short interest as of March 31st, reaching over 6 million shares, which represents 13.3% of its float. Analysts are generally split on the stock, with a "Hold" consensus and a target price of $24.17. The company recently reported better-than-expected EPS and announced a quarterly dividend.
