â–²(27.95% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/06/26
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—ongoing losses, multi-year revenue decline, and high leverage—despite some stabilization and positive TTM free cash flow. Technicals are a key offset with a strong uptrend and supportive momentum. Guidance was raised and refinancing actions help near-term risk, but the earnings outlook is still exposed to inflation/tariffs and is partly supported by non-recurring IEEPA recoveries.
Positive Factors
Brand portfolio & POS momentum
Sustained multi-brand strength reduces dependence on any single product and supports resilient shelf presence across retail channels. Broad-based unit and brand growth signals durable product-market fit, helping stabilize revenue and enabling targeted investment in winners over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
High absolute debt balances and elevated leverage constrain financial flexibility, raise interest and covenant sensitivity, and limit ability to fund innovation or M&A. Over a multi-quarter horizon, leverage magnifies downside risk if cash conversion slips or margins revert, making deleveraging imperative.

Newell Brands Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 31, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call conveyed cautious optimism: Newell delivered an important operational inflection with a return to top-line growth, improved POS/distribution, stronger brand momentum, an elevated innovation pipeline, EPS outperformance and an upwardly revised full-year guide. However, significant and persistent input cost inflation, a sizeable tariff headwind (and dependence on one-time IEEPA recoveries for near-term upside), continued international and Commercial segment softness, and negative YTD operating cash flow temper the enthusiasm. Management’s constructive execution and productivity gains reduce risk, but the results remain partly dependent on non-recurring tariff recoveries and the trajectory of inflation and tariff policy.Positive Updates
Return to Top-Line Growth
Net sales increased 3% in Q2 to approximately $2.0B and core sales grew 2.3% year-over-year — the first return to year-over-year growth in both metrics in over four years.
Negative Updates
Significant Inflation and Tariff Headwinds
Management increased its inflation estimate for 2026 from ~$100M to ~ $200M (an incremental ~$100M headwind since the start of the year). Expected net P&L tariff headwind for 2026 is ~$127M (excluding IEEPA refunds), ~ $12M higher than 2025.

Company Guidance
Management raised full‑year guidance: net sales growth of 1%–2% and core sales flat to +1%, normalized operating margin 10.0%–10.4% and normalized diluted EPS $0.73–$0.77 (up from prior $0.56–$0.60, reflecting a $0.17/share 2025 IEEPA tariff recovery), assuming a full‑year effective tax rate of ~20%; operating cash flow raised to ~ $400M (assumes substantial IEEPA cash recovery by year‑end) and plans to finish the year comfortably below 4.5x net leverage. For Q3 the company expects net and core sales +2%–3%, normalized operating margin 9.5%–10.2% and normalized EPS $0.18–$0.20 with a Q3 tax rate of ~10%. The guidance assumes a 2026 net tariff headwind of ~$127M (ex‑IEEPA), higher input inflation of ~ $200M (vs. $100M expected at the start of the year), ~ $200M full‑year capex pacing (~$84M YTD), and reflects the company’s productivity, A&P and restructuring actions.Newell Brands Financial Statement Overview
