Dara Mohsenian has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Energizer Holdings. The company reported a disappointing fourth-quarter performance, missing earnings expectations and providing weaker than expected guidance for fiscal year 2026. This was primarily due to a challenging consumer environment and significant cost pressures, which are expected to persist in the near term.
Despite the stock’s depressed valuation, Mohsenian remains cautious due to the ongoing macroeconomic pressures on Energizer’s topline, particularly given its semi-discretionary product portfolio. Additionally, the company’s high leverage ratio further complicates the outlook, reducing visibility and increasing risk. As a result, Mohsenian has lowered the price target and adjusted EBITDA estimates, reflecting a more conservative stance on the company’s future performance.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $20.00 price target.
