Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Product PortfolioCENT has been deliberately reducing its durables portfolio as consumables have higher margins and are more resilient.
ProfitabilityThe company's Cost and Simplicity program and other internal initiatives have made it structurally more profitable despite a challenged top line.
Shareholder ReturnsCENT repurchased $55m of stock in Q3, with an additional $46m authorized for future buybacks, viewing this as a good way to return money to shareholders.
Bears Say
Retail EnvironmentCENT reaffirmed its FY2025 guidance, which accounts for increased consumer value consciousness, and continued pressure in the pet specialty brick-and-mortar retail landscape for the rest of 2025.
Tariff ImpactAlthough CENT cannot see tariffs as a net positive currently, the company's exposure is relatively low compared to other CPGs.
