Edgewell Personal Care Set for Stronger Fiscal 2027 as It Laps Tariff Cost Headwinds, RBC Says

11:00 AM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Edgewell Personal Care (EPC) is poised for improved growth and margins in fiscal 2027 amid the lapping of tariff-related cost pressures from fiscal 2026, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Friday. The analysts said the company is on more stable footing heading into next year. Although it has fallen short of its long-term growth targets in recent years, the analysts expect it to make progress in fiscal 2027. Edgewell's long-term financial algorithm calls for organic sales growth of 2% to 3%, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization growth of 4% to 6% and adjusted earnings per share growth of 6% to 7%. However, RBC does not expect Edgewell to fully meet all these targets next year, though it expects the company to grow all three metrics. "Based on our conversations, we believe management understands well that they need to rebuild credibility by setting achievable targets and delivering on them," the analysts said. RBC has an Outperform rating and a $35 price target on Edgewell Personal Care. Price: 28.26, Change: +0.15, Percent Change: +0.55
