Edgewell Personal Care price target lowered to $43 from $48 at RBC Capital

RBC Capital analyst Nik Modi lowered the firm’s price target on Edgewell Personal Care (EPC) to $43 from $48 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company reported Q1 results that fell modestly short of consensus with prevailing themes generally consistent with recent results, even though its external headwinds are becoming “incrementally more meaningful” as seen with other HPC – Home and Personal Care – peers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC adds that while Edgewell’s FY25 organic growth guidance remains unchanged, its profitability outlook now declines as a result of negative FX.
