Cooper Companies, Inc. (COO)

In November 2025, CooperCompanies' shares had dropped approximately 40% over 14 months due to slowing organic growth, but capacity constraints on its MyDay contact lens line were resolved. In December 2025, the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $1,065.2 million and full-year revenue of $4.1 billion, both up 5%. In March 2026, CooperCompanies reported 3% organic revenue growth and increased its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance, while also doubling its share repurchase program to $2 billion.

Analysis of COO's seasonal charts suggests a buy date of December 13 and a sell date of March 31 has resulted in a geometric average return of 10.22% above the benchmark rate of the S&P 500 Total Return Index over the past 20 years. Consumers have shown a strong preference for single-day silicone hydrogel lenses, with demand for CooperVision's MyDay lenses being robust. CooperVision also conducts extensive consumer insights surveys on various eye care topics.
