Coty

Coty posted fiscal Q4 revenue of $1.27 billion, beating estimates, though like‑for‑like sales fell 1% and adjusted loss per share widened to $0.02. Management called fiscal 2027 a “transition year” and withheld full‑year forecasts while executing cost savings that generated over $250 million and improved free cash flow. The company will receive $400 million from the Gucci exit over time and plans to use proceeds to pay down debt and fund restructuring, but investors reacted negatively and shares fell about 7%. Coty faces regional weakness, margin pressure and a strategic review of slower brands despite operational progress. » More on finance.yahoo.com

Coty reported a Q4 revenue beat to $1.27bn but a wider-than-expected company-defined adjusted loss and a $141m net loss. Management guided Q1 adjusted EPS below consensus and forecast low- to mid-single-digit like‑for‑like sales declines, while withholding full-year fiscal 2027 guidance and calling the period a transition year. The company received $250m from the early Gucci Beauty agreement, which can fund debt reduction, but Consumer Beauty underperformance and the future loss of Gucci licensing create uncertainty about sustainable earnings and cash‑flow. Investors need a clear, quantified path from the post‑Gucci, restructured portfolio to durable adjusted EBITDA and lower leverage before treating the selloff as an opportunity. » More on finance.yahoo.com

Coty shares fall about 5.9% premarket to $2.85 after the company reported Q4 revenue above expectations but missed on adjusted loss per share, coming in at $0.02. Management withdrew its 2027 annual guidance and called the fiscal year a “transition year,” and the outlook for Q1 (adjusted EPS $0.11–0.13) was below analysts’ estimates. A decline in like‑for‑like revenue, weak full‑year 2026 sales and an announced CFO change add to investor uncertainty. » More on de.investing.com
