AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look for durable brands, conservative balance sheets, and a margin of safety. Newell owns recognizable household and commercial brands, but the record shows erosion. In fiscal 2023, revenue was $8.1B and net income was -$388.0M. In fiscal 2024, revenue was $7.6B and net income was -$216.0M. In fiscal 2025, revenue was $7.2B and net income was -$285.0M. Sales are shrinking and annual losses have persisted. The latest filed quarter, fiscal Q2 2026 ended 2026-06-30, was better: revenue $2.0B, net income $106.0M, and diluted EPS $0.25. Fiscal Q1 2026 ended 2026-03-31 still lost $33.0M, or $0.08 per diluted share. So a turnaround may be forming, but one quarter does not prove it. The balance sheet worries me: debt-to-equity is 2.33, and FairStock’s Altman Z-Score is 0.07, a distress signal. FairStock’s ROCE is 3.30% and ROE is -8.59%. At the $5.59 close on 2026-10-13, the stock trades below book, with a FairStock P/B of 0.97. Trailing free cash flow is $118.0M, and FairStock’s FCF yield is 5.0%; the dividend yield is 5.11%. But FairStock’s P/E is -10.55 because earnings are negative. FairStock Score is 40/100 and the computed Lynch category is TURNAROUND. I would want evidence of stabilized revenue, durable margins, and lower leverage before treating this as a true bargain.

In plain English: Newell Brands makes household and commercial products, including cleaning, storage, and outdoor brands. The business has been weak: sales have shrunk and it lost money in each of the last three full years, though the latest quarter was profitable. At $5.59, the price looks cheap against its accounting value and cash flow, but high debt makes it risky.
