Coty

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. » Altro su 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. » Altro su de.investing.com

Coty reported revenue of USD 1.27 billion for Q4 2026, beating the consensus estimate of USD 1.19 billion, but slightly missed adjusted EPS with a loss of USD 0.02. Adjusted gross margin fell to 60.9%, and adjusted EBITDA and EPS weighed on profitability, while free cash flow rose sharply to USD 348 million. The stock climbed 10.6% in regular trading and fell again after hours as investors weighed the revenue increase against margin pressure and the cautious outlook. Coty calls fiscal 2027 a transition year, expects Q1 like‑for‑like revenue to decline in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range and forecasts lower margins and lower EBITDA; no annual guidance was provided. » Altro su de.investing.com
