Coty Trading Cheaper Than Industry: What's the Next Best Move?
Coty Inc. COTY is currently trading at a discount to its historical and industry benchmarks. COTY stock trades at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 10.57, below its median level of 13.30 in the past year and lower than the industry's average of 23.01. This suggests that COTY may be undervalued relative to its earnings potential, presenting an attractive opportunity for investors. The company's current Value Score of B further highlights its potential for long-term growth. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Coty's shares have lost 11.9% in the past three months compared with the industry and the S&P 500 index's decline of 8.6% and 0.9%, respectively, highlighting a more modest performance amid broader market us analyze the fundamentals of Coty to understand the key drivers behind its market position and financial resilience. Coty's focus on six strategic pillars has been instrumental in driving sustainable growth. These include stabilizing Consumer Beauty brands, accelerating luxury fragrances, expanding into the skincare segment, enhancing e-commerce and direct-to-consumer capabilities, growing in China and leading the industry in sustainability. This multi-pronged strategy helped the company maintain its competitive edge, especially in the high-growth Prestige beauty continued to outperform the market in e-commerce sell-out across both its Prestige and Consumer Beauty divisions during the third quarter of fiscal 2025. E-commerce represents approximately 20% of the company's total sales, underscoring its growing importance as a strategic channel. Looking ahead, Coty plans to further strengthen this channel with the launch of another brand on Amazon in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. In addition, the company is also tapping into emerging platforms such as TikTok Shop to drive consumer engagement and brand visibility. These highlight the company's robust digital capabilities and brand is progressing well with the All In to Win transformation program across five key work areas, driving notable improvement in cost, gross margins, sales growth and cash. The company's cost reduction program has been helping it redirect capital to structural growth capabilities and teams. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Coty achieved approximately $40 million in cost savings, with most of the savings in gross margin-related areas. For the full-fiscal year, the company remains on track to deliver total productivity savings of around $120 million. Looking ahead, Coty plans to accelerate growth in its Prestige division in fiscal 2026 with two major fragrance launches and U.S. expansion of a top brand. The company aims to capture opportunities across ultra-premium scents, body mists and pen sprays. In Consumer Beauty, Coty will roll out new fragrance lines with key retailers and expand into adjacent categories. Innovation will be supported by new technologies across cosmetics. These efforts are backed by a focus on winning channels like e-commerce and TikTok Shop to reinforce Coty's global fragrance leadership. Coty's U.S. operations, critical to its global footprint, were the primary driver of the like-for-like sales decline in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and represented the biggest headwind to year-to-date performance. In response, Coty has announced U.S. market leadership changes and organizational restructuring aimed at enhancing agility and execution across its U.S. operations. Until then, the continued underperformance in this core geography could erode investor sentiment and raise questions about Coty's ability to regain market share in its largest strong Prestige division faced a convergence of three significant headwinds in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. First, the overall prestige fragrance market slowed notably. Second, the company's innovation calendar in fiscal 2025 lacked major new product launches. Third, the company continued to work through elevated inventory levels at retailers. In addition to the triple headwinds, Prestige's makeup sales also declined. Together, these pressures highlight the vulnerability of the Prestige segment in the current-fiscal has been experiencing higher advertising and consumer promotions (A&CP) spending for a while now. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the A&CP percentage remained in the high 20s, showing a year-on-year rise. If not effectively managed, the continued increase in such expenses could further impact Coty's margins and profitability in the coming quarters. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Coty has shown strategic discipline through its transformation efforts, digital expansion and focus on high-growth channels. Despite recent pressures, including softness in the U.S. market and inventory challenges, the company remains well-positioned for long-term growth, supported by its strong presence in Prestige beauty and e-commerce. While its discounted valuation offers an attractive entry point, near-term headwinds may limit upside potential. All considered, existing investors may choose to hold their positions as Coty navigates its recovery. Currently, Coty carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Looking for a new or used BMW? Find it here with CARmag! This is the first time the X3 has clinched the overall award, confirming the brand's presence and successes in the country and the capabilities of local manufacturing. Built at BMW's Rosslyn plant in Tshwane, the X3 impressed judges with its refinement, modern design, advanced tech, and strong perceived value. BMW has long been a dominant player in the competition, holding the record for the most wins by a manufacturer since its first triumph in 1988 with the 735i. The latest-generation Suzuki Swift claimed second place overall. Now in its fourth iteration in South Africa, the judges add that the B-segment hatchback shows clear improvements in safety and equipment. All models now come with six airbags as standard, and the Swift continues Suzuki's run of strong showings in recent competitions. Third place went to the new G90 BMW M5, which also earned the Jurors' Choice award. The hybrid performance sedan stood out for its dual nature, offering electric-only driving capability alongside the punch of a twin-turbo V8. Reviewers praised its strong acceleration, interior quality, and performance versatility. Beyond the overall ranking, the Car of the Year competition also highlights winners across six categories. The BMW X3 took the Premium category, the Swift led in the Budget class, and the M5 topped the Performance category. The Volkswagen Tiguan earned top marks in the Family category.

Coty Set to Release Q3 Earnings: Key Insights for Investors
Coty Inc. COTY is likely to register a decline in the top line when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings on May 6. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.3 billion, indicating a decrease of 5.8% from the prior-year reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings has moved down by a penny in the past seven days to 5 cents per share, which is in line with the year-ago quarter's reported figure. COTY delivered a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 65.7%, on average. (Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.) Coty Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Coty Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Coty price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Coty Quote Things to Know About COTY's Upcoming Results Coty has been facing significant challenges across several key areas of its business, including China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia and Consumer Beauty in the United States. On the last earnings call, management highlighted that it anticipates these pressures to persist into the upcoming quarter. We expect organic LFL revenues to decline 1.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Currency headwinds are also likely to weigh on the results in the to-be-reported quarter. The company highlighted that it expects to see foreign exchange headwind of roughly 3% to 4% in the second half, which in turn is likely to have affected the third-quarter performance. In addition, Coty has been experiencing higher advertising and consumer promotions (A&CP) spending for a while now. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the A&CP percentage remained in the high 20s, showing a year-on-year rise. With A&CP costs expected to remain at these elevated levels, the continued increase of such expenses, if not carefully managed, might have further weighed on margins and profitability. Nonetheless, Coty's strategic priorities are likely to have provided meaningful support to the performance of the quarter to be reported. Key initiatives, such as expanding its prestige fragrance portfolio, strengthening digital and DTC capabilities, and executing cost-saving measures, are expected to have driven consumer engagement and support margin resilience. Earnings Whispers for COTY Stock Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Coty this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here. Coty has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and an Earnings ESP of -41.20%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
