Edgewell Personal Care ( (EPC) ) has shared an announcement.
At its February 5, 2026 annual meeting, Edgewell shareholders approved the company’s 3rd Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, adding 2.1 million authorized shares, removing the fungible share ratio for new awards, and updating provisions in light of U.S. tax code changes. Investors also re-elected the full slate of directors, ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor for fiscal 2026, and backed the advisory vote on executive pay, underscoring broad support for management and its compensation and governance framework.
On February 9, 2026, Edgewell reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results modestly ahead of its expectations for sales, adjusted EPS and EBITDA and confirmed its full-year outlook for continuing operations after completing the $340 million divestiture of its Feminine Care business. While revenue grew slightly and currency provided a tailwind, margins and earnings remained pressured by inflation, restructuring charges and higher interest costs, even as the company signaled a more focused portfolio and balance-sheet strengthening that it believes position it for sustainable growth and shareholder returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (EPC) stock is a Hold with a $19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Edgewell Personal Care stock, see the EPC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on EPC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EPC is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (pressure in revenue/profitability and cash-flow trends despite operational margins and a stable balance sheet). Technicals are improving but look overextended, while valuation is a notable headwind given the high P/E. Recent guidance and the completed divestiture modestly support the outlook but are offset by margin and North America demand challenges.
