Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: NWL) has announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Peterson and Chief Financial Officer Mark Erceg will participate in a fireside chat at the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. The event will take place at 11:15 a.m. ET and will be webcast on the company's website at www.newellbrands.com. The webcast will be archived for replay following the live event.

Newell Brands, a leading global consumer goods company, operates a diverse portfolio of well-known brands, including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Yankee Candle, Paper Mate, FoodSaver, Dymo, EXPO, Elmer’s, Oster, NUK, Spontex, and Campingaz. The company is focused on delighting consumers by lighting up everyday moments.

The fireside chat is an opportunity for investors and financial professionals to gain insights into the company's strategic initiatives, financial performance, and future outlook. The event will provide a platform for Chris Peterson and Mark Erceg to discuss the progress of "Project Phoenix," a strategic framework aimed at consolidating the company's operating segments to benefit from synergies and cost savings. The project is expected to fuel the company's positive earnings per share (EPS) outlook.

Newell Brands has been experiencing consistent revenue declines in recent years, but the completion of "Project Phoenix" is expected to drive positive EPS growth. The company's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.4x is significantly lower than the 15.9x peer average and the 18.2x discretionary staples median, indicating a potentially undervalued stock. The stock also offers a compelling forward dividend yield of 4.85%, surpassing the discretionary sector median of 2.42%.

The company's second-quarter 2025 results showed mixed signals, with revenue declining by 4.8% due to softness in global demand across all segments. However, the company saw improvements in profitability margins, with gross profit declining at a slower rate than revenue. Net income remained relatively flat, with net margin improving by 0.16 percentage points.

The consensus revenue is projected at $7.35 billion for the full year 2025, a year-over-year decline of 3.1%. Revenue is expected to grow slightly for the period 2026-2029, with the decline partially offset by the back-to-school season and product innovations in the learning and development segment. The company plans to invest more in marketing in the second half of 2025 to achieve a stronger return on investment for its advertising campaigns.

The outlook for the full year remains stable, with a positive outlook for 2026 and 2027. EPS is projected to remain within the $0.68 range, reflecting the projected revenue decline accompanied by improvements in profitability. The company's cost restructuring program is expected to continue, with the "where to win" and "how to win" strategic framework being tested in 2025 by persistent inflation and consumers pulling back.

The fireside chat at the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference will provide valuable insights into Newell Brands' strategic initiatives and financial performance. Investors and financial professionals are encouraged to tune in to the webcast for a better understanding of the company's future outlook.
