Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Considering these trends, value investing is clearly one of the most preferred ways to find strong stocks in any type of market. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
Helen of Troy (HELE - Free Report) is a stock many investors are watching right now. HELE is currently holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A.
We also note that HELE holds a PEG ratio of 0.86. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. HELE's industry has an average PEG of 1.30 right now. HELE's PEG has been as high as 1.73 and as low as 0.72, with a median of 1.10, all within the past year.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. HELE has a P/S ratio of 0.38. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.13.
These are only a few of the key metrics included in Helen of Troy's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, HELE looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.86% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Helen of Troy (HELE - Free Report) Founded in Texas in 1968, Helen of Troy is a leading consumer products player that operates through a diversified portfolio of renowned brands. The company, which was reorganized in Bermuda in 1994, has created a robust market position through its focus on product innovation, quality and effective pricing.
HELE is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Momentum investors should take note of this Consumer Staples stock. HELE has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 3.5% over the past four weeks.
For fiscal 2027, one analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.06 to $3.60 per share. HELE boasts an average earnings surprise of +207.7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, HELE should be on investors' short list.
Momentum investing is essentially the opposite of the tried-and-tested Wall Street adage -- "buy low and sell high." Investors following this investing style typically avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. They believe instead that one could make far more money in lesser time by "buying high and selling higher."
Everyone likes betting on fast-moving trending stocks, but it isn't easy to determine the right entry point. These stocks often lose momentum when their future growth potential fails to justify their swelled-up valuation. In that phase, investors find themselves invested in shares that have limited to no upside or even a downside. So, betting on a stock just by looking at the traditional momentum parameters could be risky at times.
It could be safer to invest in bargain stocks that have been witnessing price momentum recently. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to trends in a stock's price or earnings, is pretty useful in identifying great momentum stocks, our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
There are several stocks that currently pass through the screen and Helen of Troy (HELE - Free Report) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a great candidate.
Investors' growing interest in a stock is reflected in its recent price increase. A price change of 3.5% over the past four weeks positions the stock of this personal and household products company well in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. HELE meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 1.8% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for HELE is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.34. This indicates that the stock moves 34% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that HELE has a Momentum Score of A, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped HELE earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That's because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, HELE is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. HELE is currently trading at 0.36 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 36 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, HELE appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.
In addition to HELE, there are several other stocks that currently pass through our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen. You may consider investing in them and start looking for the newest stocks that fit these criteria.
This is not the only screen that could help you find your next winning stock pick. Based on your personal investing style, you may choose from over 45 Zacks Premium Screens that are strategically created to beat the market.
However, keep in mind that the key to a successful stock-picking strategy is to ensure that it produced profitable results in the past. You could easily do that with the help of the Zacks Research Wizard. In addition to allowing you to backtest the effectiveness of your strategy, the program comes loaded with some of our most successful stock-picking strategies.

What happened Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE) returned to sales growth and generated $57.1 million of operating cash in its fiscal second quarter.
Revenue rose 2.1% to $440.9 million. Adjusted operating income increased 40.9% to $37.9 million, while adjusted operating margin expanded to 8.6% from 6.2%.
The mix was uneven. Home and Outdoor sales rose 9.2%, helped by packs and distribution gains. Beauty and Wellness sales fell 4.5% as hair appliances, prestige hair care and water filtration remained soft. Read more: Helen of Troy (HELE) stock analysis and investment case
Why it matters The strongest evidence is cash and balance-sheet progress. Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE) used $10.5 million of operating cash a year earlier. It generated $57.1 million this quarter.
Debt fell to $672.6 million from $893.2 million. That $220.6 million decline equals 24.7%, giving the company more room to fund brands and product launches while paying less interest.
The profit gain needs context. The quarter included about $26.9 million of gross tariff refunds and roughly $23 million of reinvestment. The remaining $4 million benefit equaled about 10.5% of adjusted operating income.
That does not erase the improvement. Management also cited operating leverage, lower promotions and lower interest expense. Yet refunds materially helped gross margin, and Beauty and Wellness still produced a GAAP operating loss.
The standing case therefore improves on cash conversion and balance-sheet time. It remains mixed on durable demand because one segment is growing while the other is shrinking.
Management also raised its annual operating cash-flow outlook to $163 million to $179 million, increasing the second-half burden of proof.
Browse: stock research on every company OptimistFi covers
What's next Watch whether Beauty and Wellness sales stabilize without heavier promotion. Another quarter of operating cash generation should also push leverage toward management's revised year-end ceiling of 2.7 times.
The case strengthens if margin holds after tariff-refund effects fade and new products lift both segments. It weakens if the sales recovery stays concentrated in Home and Outdoor.

Key Takeaways HELE's Q2 adjusted EPS jumped 33.9% to 79 cents, beating estimates, as net sales rose 2.1%. Home & Outdoor sales grew 9.2%, while tariff benefits helped expand gross margin by 800 bps. HELE raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS outlook to $3.60-$4.15 and free cash flow forecast to $120M-$140M. Helen of Troy Limited (HELE - Free Report) reported improved profitability in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, supported by strength in its Home & Outdoor business, favorable tariff-related benefits and lower interest expenses. Management also raised its annual earnings outlook.
The company posted adjusted earnings of 79 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 51 cents. The bottom line increased 33.9% from 59 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. Net sales increased 2.1% year over year to $440.9 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $441.5 million.
HELE's Q2 Performance: Key Metrics & InsightsThe top line benefited from strong demand for packs, higher international sales, assortment and distribution gains, increased closeout channel sales and new product launches. These gains were partly offset by weakness in hair appliances, prestige hair care and water filtration.
The consolidated gross margin expanded 800 basis points (bps) to 52.2%, primarily reflecting favorable tariff refunds, net of higher tariff costs and lower retail trade and promotional expenses. Tariff-related effects contributed approximately 560 bps to the improvement. Inflationary product costs and unfavorable inventory obsolescence trends partly offset these gains.
The consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense ratio increased 540 bps to 46.4%, reflecting higher personnel expenses, packaging-related costs, marketing investments and divestiture litigation expenses.
Adjusted operating income increased 40.9% to $37.9 million, while the adjusted operating margin expanded 240 bps to 8.6%. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $49.4 million from $36.2 million, with the corresponding margin improving 280 bps to 11.2%.
Helen of Troy's Segmental PerformanceHome & Outdoor net sales increased 9.2% to $227.9 million, driven by growth across OXO, Hydro Flask and Osprey. Strong demand for technical, travel and lifestyle packs, higher international sales, distribution gains and new product launches supported performance. The segment's adjusted operating income increased 39.2% to $28 million, while its adjusted operating margin expanded 270 bps to 12.3%. Favorable tariff-related effects and operating leverage supported profitability, partly offset by higher personnel, packaging and marketing costs.
Beauty & Wellness net sales declined 4.5% to $213 million. Weak demand for hair appliances and prestige hair care products, competitive pressures, reduced retailer replenishment orders and lower water filtration sales weighed on the performance. These declines were partly offset by higher heater and thermometer sales, strong nail care demand and new product introductions. The segment's adjusted operating income increased 45.7% to $10 million, while its adjusted operating margin improved 160 bps to 4.7%.
HELE's Financial PositionHelen of Troy ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $22.6 million compared with $22.4 million a year ago. Total short- and long-term debt declined to $672.6 million from $893.2 million in the prior-year period.
Inventory decreased to $480.3 million from $528.9 million a year earlier. Accounts receivable turnover increased to 67.6 days from 72.2 days. The company's net leverage ratio improved to 3.0 times from 3.5 times at the end of the preceding quarter.
For the first six months of fiscal 2027, operating cash flow increased to $56.5 million from $47.9 million. Free cash flow rose to $38.3 million from $23 million in the year-ago period.
Helen of Troy's Outlook for Fiscal 2027Management narrowed its fiscal 2027 net sales guidance to $1,768-$1,822 million from $1,759-$1,831 million. Home & Outdoor sales are projected at $851-$876 million, while Beauty & Wellness sales are anticipated at $917-$946 million.
Adjusted earnings guidance was raised to $3.60-$4.15 per share from $3.25-$3.75. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected between $203 million and $210 million, up from the previous projection of $190-$197 million.
The company also raised its free cash flow forecast to $120-$140 million from $85-$100 million. Management expects a net leverage ratio of 2.7 times or lower by fiscal year-end.
For the third quarter, management anticipates net sales of $478.3-$504.5 million and adjusted earnings of $2.05-$2.40 per share, including an estimated tariff refund benefit of 66-77 cents per share.
HELE's Tariff Strategy and Business PrioritiesThe second-quarter results included gross pretax tariff refunds of $26.9 million, of which approximately $23 million was reinvested. This resulted in a net pretax benefit of approximately $4 million and an estimated adjusted earnings benefit of 12 cents per share.
For fiscal 2027, management expects approximately $80.5 million in gross tariff refunds, with 83-88% earmarked for reinvestment in brand development, organizational capabilities and inventory improvements. The estimated net pretax benefit is $10-$14 million.
The outlook incorporates continued inflationary pressures, cautious retailer inventory management, weak discretionary demand and heightened promotional activity. Higher commodity, freight and supply-chain costs remain challenges as management prioritizes brand investment, commercial execution and balance-sheet productivity.

3 Fresh Stock Buybacks: These are the Ones to BuyHelen of Troy NASDAQ: HELE reported fiscal second-quarter 2027 results that met its sales outlook and exceeded its adjusted earnings expectations, aided by growth in its Home & Outdoor segment, improving cash flow and a net benefit from tariff refunds that the company plans largely to reinvest.
Chief Executive Officer Scott Uzzell said the company remains focused on a multiyear effort to strengthen its operating foundation before pursuing broader growth. “Our recovery will not be linear,” Uzzell said, describing fiscal 2027 as a year for demonstrating progress in brand growth, marketplace execution, organizational capabilities and balance-sheet discipline.

Sales growth led by Home & Outdoor Helen of Troy and NanoString Technologies Trade Set-ups Consolidated sales increased 2.1% in the second quarter, in line with management’s outlook. Home & Outdoor sales rose 9.2%, with growth across Osprey, OXO and Hydro Flask. Beauty & Wellness sales declined 4.5%, as growth in wellness and nail care was more than offset by declines across the remainder of the Beauty business.
Uzzell said Osprey again led growth within Home & Outdoor, supported by consumer demand, product introductions and improvements in international distribution. OXO benefited from inventory-composition actions, distribution gains and new products, while Hydro Flask was aided by inventory actions, innovation and a partial recovery of tariff-related disruption in its corporate channel.
Helen Of Troy Is What We Fear Most About Q2 Earnings International sales rose 3.7%, led by Hydro Flask, OXO and Osprey. The company cited new products, expanded distribution and improved execution in selected markets, including a new Australian distributor.
Within Beauty & Wellness, management highlighted growth at Vicks and Braun, supported by distribution gains, comparisons with prior tariff-related items and new products. Olive & June also posted another solid quarter, driven by consumer demand, replenishment orders and new or expanded distribution.
However, Uzzell said some Beauty brands continue to face softer demand and require additional work on commercial execution and demand creation. During the quarter, the company appointed a new leader for the Beauty & Wellness business.
Tariff refunds lift profitability, fund reinvestment Chief Financial Officer Brian Grass said second-quarter results included approximately $26.9 million of gross pretax tariff refunds. After planned reinvestment, the company recorded an estimated net pretax benefit of about $4 million, equal to roughly $0.12 per diluted share after tax.
For the full fiscal year, Helen of Troy expects gross refunds covering the full amount of paid IEEPA tariffs of $80.5 million. The company plans to reinvest between $66.5 million and $70.5 million, resulting in an estimated net pretax benefit of $10 million to $14 million and an adjusted diluted EPS benefit of $0.30 to $0.45.
Management said it intends to use the funds for foundational and longer-term investments, including brand-building, product development, packaging, consumer insights, growth strategy and inventory cleanup. Grass said about 25% of the spending is expected to generate a fiscal 2027 return, while other investments are intended to better position the company for fiscal 2028.
Grass cautioned that the refunds do not fully offset the broader cumulative impact of tariffs. The company has also faced unreimbursed tariffs, supply-chain diversification expenses, longer lead times, disruption to certain revenue streams and higher interest expense associated with cash tariff payments.
Consolidated gross margin increased 800 basis points to 52.2%. The company attributed approximately 560 basis points of the gain to tariff refunds net of higher tariff costs, along with lower retail trade and promotional spending. These benefits were partly offset by inflation in commodities, fuel, freight, currency and supply availability, as well as less favorable inventory obsolescence.
The SG&A ratio increased 540 basis points to 46.4%, reflecting tariff-refund reinvestment, spending on the organization, go-to-market structure and brands, as well as higher packaging costs and divestiture litigation costs. Adjusted EBITDA increased $13.2 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved 280 basis points.
Balance sheet improves as inventory and debt decline Helen of Troy generated $56.5 million in cash flow from operations and $38 million in free cash flow during the first half. Inventory ended the quarter at $480 million, down $49 million from a year earlier. The percentage of active inventory improved by seven percentage points in the first half, and management is targeting a 12-percentage-point improvement by year-end.
Total debt fell to $673 million, down $221 million from the prior-year period and $108 million since the beginning of the fiscal year. Net leverage declined to 3.0 times from 3.5 times at the end of the first quarter. The company now expects to end fiscal 2027 with net leverage of 2.7 times or lower.
Full-year outlook revised The company narrowed its fiscal 2027 net sales outlook to $1.768 billion to $1.822 billion. It expects Home & Outdoor sales of $851 million to $876 million and Beauty & Wellness sales of $917 million to $946 million.
Base-business adjusted EBITDA guidance was maintained at $193 million to $196 million. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA guidance was raised to $203 million to $210 million, including the net tariff-refund benefit. Base-business adjusted EPS guidance was narrowed to $3.30 to $3.70. Consolidated adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $3.60 to $4.15. Free cash flow guidance was raised to $120 million to $140 million, despite a $9 million increase in planned capital expenditures. For the third quarter, Helen of Troy expects sales of $478.3 million to $504.5 million and consolidated adjusted EPS of $2.05 to $2.40. That estimate includes a projected tariff-refund benefit of $0.66 to $0.77 per share, as the company expects to recognize its remaining $51.8 million in gross IEEPA tariff refunds during the quarter.
Management said the outlook reflects continuing inflationary and supply-disruption risks related largely to conflict in the Middle East, as well as elevated fuel costs, higher interest and mortgage rates, discretionary-category softness, cautious retailer inventory management and a more promotional competitive environment.
Uzzell said the company remains confident in its strongest brands but expects a challenging consumer environment. He said Hydro Flask faces a more saturated and promotional beverageware market, while management seeks to maintain the brand’s premium positioning through consumer messaging, product innovation and expansion into adjacent categories.

Helen grew its sales only 2.1% in Q2, but its operating profit margin flipped from deeply negative a year ago, to 5.2% this time around. Net losses of $13.44 a year ago likewise flipped as money came flooding back into the company from tariff refunds. Still, when calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Helen's net profit was only $0.19 per share.
The "$0.79" per-share profit, it turns out, was only a pro forma number and unlikely to repeat.

What's next for Helen of Troy stock?So what can investors expect from Helen of Troy stock going forward? Turning to guidance, Helen narrowed its sales forecast for fiscal 2027 to a range from $1.77 billion to $1.82 billion. That works out to sales guidance of about 1% growth at the midpoint.
Helen does expect to remain profitable this year -- $3.63 to $4.26 per share, GAAP, with pro forma profits a bit lower. Best of all, free cash flow will be positive -- about $130 million for the year.
For a $640 million market-cap stock, that works out to a price-to-free cash flow ratio of less than 5x. Despite the static from the tariff refunds, that seems pretty cheap to me.

The promise of a strong Q3 earnings season took a back seat Wednesday, for the first time this October, as realities of the present day give investors a good excuse for some profit-taking. Bond yields have wound down slightly from recent multi-decade highs, but remain elevated. And renewed attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure by Iran-backed Houthis have sent spot oil prices up +4.7% — $92 per barrel (/bbl) on WTI and $104/bbl for Brent crude.
Pre-market futures are in the red at this hour: the Dow is -399 points, the Nasdaq is -242 and the S&P 500 is -33 points. The small-cap Russell 2000 is -24 points at this hour. Over the past six months, these indexes are up +6%, +24%, +14% and +5.8%, respectively, with the Russell 2000 +10.5% year to date.
Weekly Jobless Claims Stay at Historic LowsWhile monthly jobs data continue to illustrate a flat labor market, Weekly Jobless Claims are once again demonstrating the absolute strength within the domestic employment space: +197K Initial Jobless Claims is 2K lower than the prior week (which had been revised higher by 2K), and marks the fourth-straight week under +200K new jobless claims. We’re currently at the lowest level of jobless claims post-Covid.
Continuing Claims, reported a week in arrears from Initial Claims, bumped up a tad to +1.716 million, from a downwardly revised 1.699 million the previous week. That sub-1.7 million longer-term jobless claims tally was the lowest since early April of 2023. For some context here, April of 2023 saw BLS monthly jobs gains of +253K. Last week’s BLS number for September 2026 was +29K.
Thus, we continue the narrative that the U.S. labor market is in a “low hire/low fire” zone. That it does not point to stronger growth going forward, it allows the Fed — which has a dual mandate: low inflation/full employment — to forego a move higher on interest rates at the end of this month. While the Inflation Rate is higher than where the Fed had preferred it to be, the Fed funds rate at +3.75-4.00% is still higher than year-over-year CPI at +3.4%.

Key Takeaways HELE's Q2 revenues are projected at $441.5M, up 2.2% from the year-ago period.Earnings are estimated at 51 cents per share, a 13.6% decline from last year's quarter.HELE's brand momentum and digital initiatives may help offset softer demand and rising cost pressures. Helen of Troy Limited (HELE - Free Report) is likely to witness top-line growth in its second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings, to be reported on Oct. 8. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $441.5 million, implying a 2.2% increase from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for HELE’s quarterly earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at 51 cents per share, indicating a 13.6% decline from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. The company delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of almost 196.3%, on average.
Things to Know About HELE’s Q2 EarningsHelen of Troy’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 results are likely to reflect continued progress across its brand and commercial initiatives. The company has been focusing on consumer-led innovation, stronger brand execution and expanded distribution across key businesses. Momentum in Osprey, OXO, Hydro Flask, Braun and Olive & June, supported by new products, retail expansion and improving point-of-sale trends, might have aided sales performance during the quarter. Our model predicts a 1.4% gain in organic volumes for the fiscal second quarter.
Digital and omnichannel initiatives are also likely to have remained supportive. Helen of Troy has been working to improve pricing alignment across e-commerce channels, strengthen marketplace discipline and enhance its digital shelf and retail-media effectiveness. The company has also been linking demand signals, promotional plans and inventory decisions more closely, while maintaining a focus on inventory optimization and working-capital efficiency. These efforts might have supported execution during the quarter.
However, the fiscal second-quarter performance might have been constrained by a challenging demand environment. On its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call, management continued to anticipate inflationary pressures, softer discretionary demand, cautious retailer behavior and elevated promotional intensity. Pricing elasticity has also remained a concern in certain categories, particularly across some core beauty brands. Moreover, the earlier timing of Prime Day had shifted some sales into the fiscal first quarter, which might have weighed modestly on the fiscal second-quarter revenues.
Profitability is likely to have faced pressure from higher product costs, commodity inflation, unfavorable Chinese yuan movements and increased inbound and outbound freight expenses. Costs to secure goods amid supply-chain disruption might also have weighed on margins. We expect adjusted SG&A, as a percentage of sales, to expand 220 basis points to 40.1%, while the adjusted operating margin is projected to contract 20 basis points to 6% in the fiscal second quarter.

Shareholders Approve Board and Compensation Proposals Helen of Troy and NanoString Technologies Trade Set-ups Shareholders elected all nine nominees proposed by the board’s nominating committee: Uzzell, Krista L. Berry, Thurman K. Case, Marlow M. Cormier, Mitchell Fadel, Tabata L. Gomez, Elena B. Otero, Beryl B. Raff and Darren G. Woody.

Helen Of Troy Is What We Fear Most About Q2 Earnings The fourth proposal, appointing Grant Thornton LLP as the company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2027 and authorizing the audit committee to set its remuneration, also received majority support.
Anne Rakunas, Helen of Troy’s director of external communications and the meeting’s voting official, announced the preliminary results. Uzzell said final voting results would be disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CEO Outlines Multi-Year Roadmap Following the formal meeting, Uzzell described fiscal 2026 as “a dynamic and challenging year,” citing selective consumers, cautious retailer inventory management, tariffs and changing global trade patterns that pressured costs and working capital.
Uzzell, who said he joined the company less than a year ago, outlined priorities to re-energize brands and employees, adapt the company’s structure around consumers, strengthen the portfolio for more predictable growth and improve asset efficiency while maintaining shareholder-friendly policies.
He said the company began shifting in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 from a primary focus on cost containment to protecting investments in people, innovation, brands and commercial capabilities. The company maintained cost discipline while directing resources toward brands, products and markets where it sees its strongest opportunities, he said.
Among actions taken during fiscal 2026, Uzzell said Helen of Troy:
Kept inventory levels essentially flat despite higher tariffs embedded in inventory. Mitigated tariff pressures through supplier diversification, SKU streamlining and targeted pricing actions. Created greater supply-chain flexibility to address future trade developments. Generated strong cash flow, reduced debt and strengthened its balance sheet. Simplified priorities and moved decisions closer to consumers and the marketplace. “We did not fully offset the pressures we faced, and we still have considerable work to do,” Uzzell said.
Fiscal 2027 Called a Foundation Year Uzzell characterized fiscal 2027 as the foundation year for a multi-year, three-phase roadmap intended to stabilize the business and move toward a more focused portfolio of “powerhouse brands.” He said the company’s guiding principles are becoming better before becoming bigger, concentrating resources on the highest-impact opportunities and bringing decisions closer to consumers.
The company plans to selectively reinvest in businesses to restore brand momentum, accelerate growing brands and rebuild top-line momentum in declining scale brands, Uzzell said. Its operating priorities center on consumer-first innovation, commercial and operational excellence, and people and culture.
Uzzell said the company recorded year-over-year point-of-sale growth in tracked North American channels, concentrated in Braun, Osprey, OXO and Olive & June. He also cited sequential improvement in key areas, with the greatest improvement in beauty and wellness, as well as lower ending inventory and further debt reduction.
Helen of Troy is also implementing a general-management model with five segment general managers and three geographic general managers. Uzzell said the structure is intended to place accountability and decision-making closer to consumers and key markets.
Uzzell also recognized Meeker and board member Vince Carson for their service, noting that both are retiring from the board. No shareholder questions were submitted during the meeting.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Helen of Troy (HELE - Free Report) . Shares have added about 5.1% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Helen of Troy due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Helen of Troy Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates, Sales Outlook RaisedHelen of Troy Limited reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, wherein both top and bottom lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. While net sales increased, earnings decreased from the year-ago period’s actuals. Management raised net sales guidance for fiscal 2027.
Helen of Troy posted adjusted earnings of 17 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 2 cents. However, the bottom line declined 58.5% from 41 cents reported in the year-ago period.
The company reported net sales of $402.1 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $375 million. The top line increased 8.2% from $371.7 million posted in the year-ago period, driven by growth across both business segments. Home & Outdoor benefited from strong international demand for packs, successful new product launches and a favorable comparison to the prior year due to tariff-related order timing. Beauty & Wellness growth was led by strong sales of nail care products, fans and thermometers.
The consolidated gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 46% in the quarter, primarily due to the net unfavorable impact of tariffs, higher inventory obsolescence costs compared with the prior year and a less favorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor.
The consolidated SG&A ratio decreased to 31% from 45.1% posted in the year-ago period, reflecting a $54.9 million pre-tax gain from the sale of a distribution facility, lower outbound freight costs, reduced depreciation and amortization, favorable operating leverage and the absence of $3.5 million in CEO succession costs incurred in the prior-year period.
The adjusted operating income remained flat at $16.1 million, while the adjusted operating margin decreased 30 bps to 4%. The margin compression was primarily caused by tariff-related cost pressures, a less favorable inventory obsolescence impact year over year and an unfavorable customer mix within Home & Outdoor, partially offset by reduced outbound freight costs and favorable operating leverage.
HELE’s Segmental PerformanceNet sales in the Home & Outdoor segment increased 9.5% to $194.9 million, driven by strong international demand for technical, lifestyle and travel packs, new product launches, expanded distribution in the home and insulated beverageware categories, and a favorable comparison to the prior year due to tariff-related order timing. These gains were partially offset by lower international sales in the home and insulated beverageware categories.
Home & Outdoor adjusted operating income increased 39.2% to $12.3 million, while the segment adjusted operating margin increased 130 bps to 6.3%.
Net sales in the Beauty & Wellness segment gained 7% to $207.2 million, driven by growth in nail care from new and expanded distribution, higher fan and thermometer sales benefiting from an easier comparison against prior-year tariff-related direct import cancellations and disruptions in the China thermometry market, and incremental sales from new Wellness product launches.
Beauty & Wellness adjusted operating income declined 48.2% to $3.8 million, while the segment adjusted operating margin decreased 190 bps to 1.8%.
HELE’s Financial PositionHelen of Troy ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million and total short and long-term debt of $716.1 million. Net cash used by operating activities for the fiscal first quarter was $0.6 million. The free cash flow for the same period was negative $6.4 million.
HELE’s OutlookFor fiscal 2027, the company raised its net sales guidance to $1.759-$1.831 billion, from the previous range of $1.751-$1.822 billion. The updated outlook includes Home & Outdoor sales of $859-$884 million (previously $854-$882 million) and Beauty & Wellness sales of $900-$947 million (previously $897-$940 million).
Adjusted earnings are still expected in the range of $3.25 to $3.75 per share, with adjusted EBITDA of $190 million to $197 million and free cash flow of $85 million to $100 million.
Management expects continued inflationary pressures, weak discretionary demand, cautious retailer inventory management and a highly promotional environment. The outlook assumes current tariff rates remain in place, includes $9.2 million in Phase 1 tariff refunds and excludes potential future refunds due to uncertainty. It also factors in higher product and freight costs, unfavorable Chinese yuan movements, and ongoing geopolitical and supply-chain risks that may increase input costs and disrupt supply.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates revision have trended upward during the past month.
The consensus estimate has shifted 9.09% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Helen of Troy has a subpar Growth Score of D, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Interestingly, Helen of Troy has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

The new feeding and storage collection brings OXO's human-centered approach to one of the fastest-growing categories in the home, making everyday pet care simpler, cleaner, and better designed.
, /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 30 years, OXO has challenged the idea that everyday products should simply be functional. By combining thoughtful design with a deep understanding of how people live, the brand has reimagined everything from kitchen tools and coffee makers to cleaning and organization. Today, OXO brings that same approach to pet care with a new collection of feeding and food storage solutions designed to make everyday life better for pets and the people who love them.
OXO Brings Its Thoughtful Design Philosophy to Pet Care
OXO Brings Its Thoughtful Design Philosophy to Pet Care As pet ownership has evolved, so have consumer expectations. Today's pet parents expect products that solve real problems without sacrificing thoughtful design. OXO saw an opportunity to rethink everyday feeding and storage through the same lens that has guided the brand for decades: understanding real frustrations and creating intuitive, beautifully designed solutions that improve everyday routines.
"At OXO, we've always believed thoughtful design has the power to improve everyday life," said Larry Witt, President, Home & Outdoor at Helen of Troy. "Pet parents shouldn't have to compromise between performance and design. We approached this collection the same way we approach every OXO product: by understanding everyday frustrations and creating thoughtful solutions that make caring for pets simpler, cleaner, and more enjoyable."
The launch reflects OXO's continued commitment to bringing exceptional design to everyday categories where thoughtful innovation can make the biggest difference. Designed to address shared challenges pet parents face, including messy mealtimes, fast eaters and bulky food storage, the collection combines intuitive functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Launching August 3, 2026, the feeding collection includes:
Nonslip Bowls (1, 2, and 4 Cup): A stainless-steel bowl with a removable, weighted nonslip base that helps prevent tipping while making cleanup easy. Easy Clean Slow Feeder Bowls: A removable silicone insert encourages slower eating and allows the bowl to be cleaned thoroughly. Easy Clean Feeding Mat: Raised edges help contain spills and keep feeding areas cleaner. Adjustable Elevated Feeder: Adjustable height settings provide a more comfortable feeding position for pets while complementing modern home décor. Every product reflects OXO's commitment to thoughtful details that simplify everyday routines, from removable components and easy-to-clean materials to intuitive features that improve the experience for both pets and their owners. Later this year, OXO will expand the collection with thoughtfully designed storage solutions that help keep food, treats and everyday pet essentials fresh, organized and easily accessible.
The storage collection includes:
Airtight Treat Container (8 oz): One-handed dispensing and an airtight seal help keep treats fresh. Multi-Purpose Container: A stackable storage solution for treats, toys, leashes, and other pet essentials. Airtight Food Containers with Scoop (Small, 25 lb., and 35 lb.): Airtight storage with easy-open latches, integrated scoops, wheels on select sizes, angled bases for easier dispensing, and clear visibility into food levels. Availability
The OXO Pet feeding collection will be available beginning August 3, 2026, at major retailers nationwide, oxo.com and Amazon. Pet food storage solutions will launch in late 2026.

NEW YORK, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
What’s Happening?
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Helen of Troy Limited (“Helen of Troy” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HELE) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Helen of Troy common stock between April 24, 2024, and October 8, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).Investors have until August 3, 2026 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. What are the Allegation Details?
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, which begins shortly after Noel Geoffroy became CEO, the Company boasted about the “fuel” it was generating from Project Pegasus. The Complaint alleges that although the Company admitted to some speed bumps in Project Pegasus, specifically citing “implementation hiccups” with its new Tennessee distribution center, Defendants assured investors that “despite the delayed savings related to our Tennessee distribution center, Project Pegasus continues to move forward, we have made good progress on the cost of goods sold work streams, implementing multiple projects that reduce costs and simplify our supplier base.”
The Complaint alleges that Project Pegasus was not delivering the efficiencies that Defendants touted. The Complaint continues to allege that rather, unknown to investors, Helen of Troy did not have enough resources or the budget to achieve its stated restructuring or savings goals.
The Complaint further alleges that the truth began to emerge on July 9, 2024, when the Company announced its results for the first quarter of 2025, reporting that earnings per share had declined by a staggering 49% from the prior year, and reducing full-year revenue outlook by over 20%. The Complaint also alleges that the Company attributed the poor financial results to an “unusual number of internal and external challenges,” delaying the long-awaited delivery of savings from the Company’s strategic plan. The Complaint alleges that as a result of these disclosures, the price of the Company’s shares declined by $24.68 per share, or 27.7%.
What are my Next Steps?

What is the class period? April 24, 2024 - October 8, 2025
What are the allegations?
Shareholders allege that Helen of Troy Limited misled investors regarding the ability of Project Pegasus to improve efficiency and effectiveness. According to the complaint, in fiscal year 2023, Helen of Troy initiated Project Pegasus, a “global restructuring program that focused on both efficiency and effectiveness.” As a part of this initiative, the Company invested in a new distribution center in Tennessee to support its targeted growth.
Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, the Company boasted about the “fuel” it was generating from Project Pegasus. Although Helen of Troy admitted to some speed bumps in Project Pegasus, specifically citing “implementation hiccups” with its new Tennessee distribution center, defendants assured investors that “despite the delayed savings related to our Tennessee distribution center, Project Pegasus continues to move forward. We have made good progress on the cost of goods sold work streams, implementing multiple projects that reduce costs and simplify our supplier base.” However, Project Pegasus was not delivering the efficiencies that defendants touted. Rather, unknown to investors, Helen of Troy did not have enough resources or the budget to achieve its stated restructuring or savings goals.
Plaintiff alleges that on October 9, 2025, CEO G. Scott Uzzell reported Helen of Troy’s second quarter results for fiscal year 2026, announcing that quarterly sales were down 8.9% year-over-year, adjusted earnings per share plummeted by 51%, and that these results were caused by significant business disruptions and cost headwinds which the Company expects to persist for the remainder of the year. These disclosures caused Helen of Troy’s stock price to decline by $6.90 per share, or 25%.

Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must submit their papers to the court by August 3, 2026.

Executive Accountability: Brian Grass Named as Defendant for Alleged Role in Concealing Project Pegasus Failures While Serving as Both CFO and Interim CEO of Helen of Troy
, /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors that Brian Grass, Helen of Troy Limited's (NASDAQ: HELE) longtime Chief Financial Officer and former Interim CEO, is named as an individual defendant in a securities class action filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between April 24, 2024, and October 8, 2025. Find out if you qualify to recover losses from the HELE securities action. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.
Helen of Troy shares suffered multiple sharp declines during the Class Period, including a 27.7% single-day drop ($24.68 per share) and a later 22.7% decline ($7.04 per share), as the alleged truth about the Company's flagship restructuring program emerged. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 3, 2026.
Brian Grass's Dual Role During the Class Period
The complaint identifies Grass as occupying a uniquely central position at Helen of Troy. As the Company's longtime CFO, Grass oversaw financial reporting and projections throughout the Class Period. When CEO Noel Geoffroy suddenly departed on May 2, 2025, after only 14 months in the role, Grass assumed the additional title of Interim CEO, a position he held through September 1, 2025. This dual capacity placed Grass at the intersection of both operational leadership and financial disclosure during a period when, the action contends, investors were receiving materially misleading information about the Company's restructuring progress.
What Brian Grass Allegedly Oversaw
As pleaded in the complaint, Grass made specific assurances to investors on multiple occasions:
On July 9, 2024, Grass stated the Company still expected to "expand gross margin year-over-year due to Project Pegasus" even as the Company simultaneously slashed its full-year revenue outlook by over 20% On October 9, 2024, Grass reiterated gross margin expansion expectations and claimed the Tennessee distribution facility remediation was "substantially completed" On January 8, 2025, Grass confirmed Project Pegasus savings targets remained "on track" and that restructuring charges would be "largely completed in fiscal '25" By July 10, 2025, now serving as Interim CEO, Grass conceded the Company had become "too matrixed, too slow" and "too complicated," acknowledging a loss of organizational focus he stated he personally owned "as a leader" The lawsuit asserts that Grass possessed the power and authority to control the contents of Helen of Troy's SEC reports, press releases, and analyst presentations, and that he was provided with copies of these materials prior to or shortly after their issuance.
Grass's Certifications and Liability
As CFO, Grass signed SEC filings containing financial statements and forward-looking projections about Project Pegasus savings. The complaint alleges that these certifications carried personal accountability under the federal securities laws. The action further contends that Grass, by virtue of his high-level positions and direct involvement in day-to-day operations, acted as a controlling person within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
"Individual officers who sign SEC certifications bear personal responsibility for the accuracy of corporate disclosures. When an executive occupies both the CFO and Interim CEO roles during a period of alleged misrepresentation, questions of personal accountability become particularly acute." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Institutional investors holding positions in Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE) during the period April 24, 2024, through October 8, 2025, may wish to evaluate lead plaintiff opportunities in a pending securities class action. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.
Helen of Troy shares suffered multiple corrective declines during the Class Period, including a 27.7% single-day drop on July 9, 2024, a 22.7% decline on July 10, 2025, and a 25% decline on October 9, 2025. The window to apply for lead plaintiff closes on August 3, 2026.
Notice to Institutional Holders
Pension funds, mutual funds, endowments, and other institutional investors that acquired HELE shares during the Class Period face distinct considerations. The securities action contends that Helen of Troy and certain senior officers made materially misleading statements about the progress of Project Pegasus, a global restructuring initiative, while the Company allegedly lacked adequate resources and budget to achieve its stated savings targets of $75 million to $85 million. Institutional holders who purchased shares in reliance on these representations may have incorporated artificially inflated valuations into portfolio models.
ERISA and Fiduciary Considerations
Plan fiduciaries who held HELE in defined benefit or defined contribution portfolios should assess whether the alleged misrepresentations affected investment decisions or asset allocation. The lawsuit asserts that management repeatedly characterized Project Pegasus as "on track" and generating "fuel" for growth, even as the Company's operational performance deteriorated across multiple quarters. Fiduciaries owe a duty of prudence that includes monitoring securities litigation affecting portfolio holdings and evaluating whether participation as lead plaintiff serves the interests of plan beneficiaries.
Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options
Institutional investors with the largest documented losses are typically best positioned for lead plaintiff appointment under the PSLRALead plaintiff status provides direct oversight of litigation strategy, settlement negotiations, and counsel selectionParticipation carries no out-of-pocket cost; counsel is compensated on a contingency basis approved by the courtFiduciaries who fail to evaluate lead plaintiff opportunities in cases affecting portfolio holdings may face questions about their monitoring obligationsThe action covers all purchasers of HELE common stock between April 24, 2024, and October 8, 2025Multiple corrective disclosures revealed the alleged gap between management's public optimism and the Company's actual operational trajectory Portfolio Impact Assessment
With approximately 23.1 million shares outstanding and institutional ownership representing a significant portion of the float, the cumulative stock declines during the Class Period represent substantial aggregate portfolio losses across the institutional investor community. The complaint details a pattern in which the Company allegedly maintained positive projections about restructuring progress while internal realities reflected budget constraints, organizational dysfunction, and an inability to achieve targeted labor efficiencies at its Tennessee distribution center.

Frequently Asked Questions About the HELE Lawsuit
Q: Who is eligible to join the HELE investor lawsuit? A: Investors who purchased HELE stock or securities between April 24, 2024, and October 8, 2025, and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses, not on whether you still hold the shares.
Q: What is the HELE lead plaintiff deadline? A: The deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment is August 3, 2026. This deadline applies only to investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiff. Class members who do not apply may still participate in any recovery without taking action before this date.
Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.
Q: What documents do I need to make a claim? A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.
Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.
Q: What if I already sold my HELE shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.
Q: Can I join a different law firm's lawsuit instead? A: Multiple firms often file competing complaints. The court consolidates and appoints a single lead counsel. Contacting Levi & Korsinsky before August 3, 2026, ensures your losses are considered.
