Edgewell Personal Care (EPC) is expected to lower its fiscal 2025 outlook when it reports fiscal Q2 results due to tariffs impact, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Monday.
The company's previous outlook did not factor in tariffs, the impact of which could offset the benefits from a weakening US dollar, RBC said, as it estimated that 5% of the company's cost of goods sold comes from China.
Consumer sentiment may deteriorate further and "now is a good time" to reduce numbers and de-risk, analysts led by Nik Modi wrote.
"We expect the theme of this quarter to remain strength in international markets and right to win categories that are offset by weakness in the US and right to play categories," analysts said.
RBC has an outperform rating and a $43 price target on Edgewell's stock.
