Helen of Troy price target lowered to $25 from $27 at UBS

UBS lowered the firm’s price target on Helen of Troy (HELE) to $25 from $27 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Helen of Troy reported a Q2 beat, as stronger-than-expected sales growth more than offset weaker gross and operating margin performance, though guidance for Q3 and FY26 fell short of Street expectations at the bottom line, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Investors will likely remain on the sidelines until there is greater clarity around execution, margin stabilization, and the path toward sustainable growth, UBS adds.
