Energizer Holdings, Inc. (ENR)

In the past six months, Energizer Holdings, Inc. reported its fiscal first-quarter 2026 results and fourth-quarter 2025 results. For Q1 Fiscal Year 2026, Energizer reported a loss of $3.4 million, or 5 cents per share, though adjusted earnings of 31 cents per share exceeded Wall Street expectations of 26 cents. Revenue for the quarter was $778.9 million, also surpassing forecasts. Organic sales declined by 4.3%, attributed to softer U.S. consumer demand and difficult comparisons to prior-year storm-driven demand. In Q4 Fiscal Year 2025, Energizer's revenue of $833 million exceeded estimates, but EPS of $1.05 was slightly below the estimated $1.12. The stock experienced a significant selloff in November 2025 due to weakening consumer demand and rising costs, particularly tariffs, which impacted profitability. Overall, the stock price has fluctuated, with a notable decline over the past year, moving between a 52-week low of $16.77 and a high of $32.34.
