Three stocks have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List: eXp World Holdings, Edgewell Personal Care, and Black Stone Minerals. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for their current year earnings has been revised downward by 45.5%, 9.2%, and 8%, respectively.

Three prominent stocks have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List, signaling a significant downward revision in their earnings estimates for the current year. The stocks in question are eXp World Holdings (EXPI), Edgewell Personal Care (EPC), and Black Stone Minerals (BSM).

eXp World Holdings (EXPI)
eXp World Holdings, a global real estate brokerage, reported its Q2 2025 financial results, showing a 1% increase in revenue to $1.3 billion, but a net loss of $2.3 million. Despite a decline in agents and real estate transactions, the company maintained strong agent satisfaction and expanded its global reach. The company declared a $0.05 per share cash dividend for Q3 2025. Analysts have a mixed sentiment towards EXPI, with some rating it as a Neutral [1].

Edgewell Personal Care (EPC)
Edgewell Personal Care reported disappointing third-quarter financial results, with revenue decreasing by 3.2% to $627.2 million, falling short of analyst estimates. Adjusted earnings per share also missed expectations at $0.92. The company attributed the slump to a challenging Sun Care season, particularly in North America. As a result, Edgewell lowered its full-year earnings forecast significantly. The stock has experienced a sharp decline, falling 42.5% since the beginning of the year [2].

Black Stone Minerals (BSM)
Black Stone Minerals reported a net income of $120 million for Q2 2025, with adjusted EBITDA at $84.2 million. The company expects production growth in 2026 of an incremental 3,000 to 5,000 BOE per day over the revised 2025 guidance. However, the company has faced slower-than-expected natural gas production growth, particularly in the Shelby Trough and Haynesville/Bossier play. The company is actively marketing additional acreage and restructuring agreements to increase well count and production [3].

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year earnings of these stocks has been revised downward by 45.5%, 9.2%, and 8% respectively. This significant downward revision reflects the market's concerns about the financial performance and future prospects of these companies.

Investors should closely monitor the earnings reports and market sentiment surrounding these stocks to make informed investment decisions.
