Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) Share Price Plunges 5.61% on Widening Losses, Missed Earnings Estimates

The share price dropped to a record low today, with an intraday decline of 5.61%.

The Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results marked by a widening adjusted loss of $0.08 per share, missing estimates by 60%, and a 6.8% year-over-year revenue drop to $367.88 million. Organic sales fell 6%, driven by a 7% volume/mix decline across product lines, despite a 1% pricing increase. Cost-cutting measures reduced SG&A expenses by 8%, yet gross profit margins contracted to 18.5%, a 220-basis-point decline. The North America segment saw a 11.8% sales decline but a 37% rise in adjusted EBITDA to $17 million, while the International segment recorded flat sales and a 38% EBITDA drop to $13 million.

Analyst sentiment remains cautious, with a “hold” consensus and recent downgrades from Zacks and Weiss highlighting skepticism. Insiders acquired 137,535 shares in the past three months, signaling confidence, but the stock remains near its 52-week low. Management outlined a five-point strategy to stabilize sales and reduce debt, yet progress has been mixed. High leverage and weak sales trends in key segments persist as headwinds. Without sustained improvement, the stock is likely to remain under pressure.
