Cooper Companies Inc (COO) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the technical indicators show some bullish trends, the financial performance has been weak with declining net income, EPS, and gross margin. Additionally, the options data suggests bearish sentiment, and the stock faces potential competitive pressures in the future. Analysts' ratings are mixed, with some positive but cautious outlooks. Given the lack of strong positive catalysts and the absence of proprietary trading signals, holding the stock is the most prudent action for now.
The technical indicators for COO show a bullish trend with MACD above 0 and positively expanding, RSI at 63.7 in the neutral zone, and bullish moving averages (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). The stock is trading near its resistance level (R1: 83.771). However, the next month's stock trend prediction indicates a potential decline of -3.32%.
Analysts predict a potential rebound with a minimum upside of 12% and a long-term favorable outlook.
Insider buying activity has been noted, with insiders purchasing about 2% of the stock.
High short interest at nearly 7%, contributing to stock price declines.
Financial performance in Q4 2025 showed a decline in net income (-28% YoY), EPS (-27.12% YoY), and gross margin (-8.42% YoY).
Competitive pressures from upcoming products like Miudella could impact COO's Paragard sales, potentially reducing EPS in FY27.
In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 4.59% YoY to $1.065 billion. However, net income dropped by 28% YoY to $84.6 million, EPS fell by 27.12% YoY to 0.43, and gross margin decreased by 8.42% YoY to 56.43%.
Analysts' ratings are mixed. Needham lowered the price target to $99 but maintained a Buy rating, citing potential competitive pressures. Barclays raised the price target to $98 with an Overweight rating, while Goldman Sachs raised the target to $73 but maintained a Sell rating. Other analysts, including Citi, Piper Sandler, and Stifel, have raised price targets and highlighted stabilizing growth trends and better-than-expected Q4 results.
