- Sustainability Initiative: Edgewell's collaboration with TerraCycle to launch a free recycling program allows U.S. consumers to recycle Schick and Skintimate disposable razors and their plastic packaging, aiming to reduce hard-to-recycle waste and promote a circular economy.
- Convenient Participation: Consumers can easily register and download a free shipping label to send used razors and packaging in a secure box back to TerraCycle, simplifying the recycling process and enhancing consumer engagement.
- Environmental Impact: The program ensures that plastics are processed into pellets for products like park benches and decking, while metals are smelted into base materials, reducing reliance on landfills and incinerators, reflecting Edgewell's commitment to sustainability.
- Brand Value Enhancement: This initiative not only showcases Edgewell's leadership in sustainability but also strengthens consumer loyalty by providing a convenient recycling option that aligns with modern consumers' environmental expectations.

Outperform
Reason
RBC Capital lowered the firm's price target on Edgewell Personal Care to $23 from $26 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company slightly beat on Q4 top-line, though profitability and FY26 guidance left some to be desired, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The Fem Care divestiture should make for a higher growth/margin company over the long-term, and the ongoing optimization efforts will leave Edgewell on better footing once the external environment becomes more supportive, but this is not anticipated to drive material improvement in the near-term, the firm added.

Overweight
Reason
Wells Fargo lowered the firm's price target on Edgewell Personal Care to $23 from $25 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes Q4 was weak and the FY26 guide below expectations. If there's a silver lining, perhaps it's Wells' FY26 sales/GP$ actually went higher today, with lower EPS due to a spending reset, which should give a bit more flex to the model.
