Reason
Rothschild & Co Redburn initiated coverage of Coty with a Neutral rating and $3.60 price target. The firm sees some upside to the shares, but feels Coty's risk/reward balance "is not compelling enough."

Reason
TD Cowen analyst Oliver Chen sees "increased urgency" for Coty (COTY) to develop proprietary capabilities and drive innovation after Kering (PPRUY) agreed to sell its beauty unit to L'Oreal (LRLCY). The Gucci license and others will be going to L'Oreal, TD points out. It believes Coty "needs to build and emphasize proprietary formulations, brand-building, and verticalized capabilities that consumers cannot get anywhere else." TD keeps a Hold rating on Coty with a $4 price target. The stock in morning trading is down 2% to $4.24.

Reason
Berenberg downgraded Coty to Hold from Buy with a price target of $5.05, down from $6.50. The firm's prior investment thesis was based on a return to positive like-for-like sales growth from Q1 of 2026. However, continued retailer destocking and the recalibration of Coty's Consumer Beauty division is likely to delay the growth inflection to Q3 of 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
