Newell Brands Inc (NWL) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner, long-term investor with $50,000-$100,000 available. Despite some positive developments like hedge fund buying and a potential turnaround, the company's weak financial performance, neutral analyst ratings, and lack of strong trading signals suggest holding off on an immediate investment.
The stock's MACD is slightly positive, indicating mild bullish momentum, but RSI is neutral at 68.033. Moving averages are converging, showing no clear trend. Key resistance levels are at $4.8 and $5, while support levels are at $4.155 and $3.955. The pre-market price of $4.71 is near the resistance level, suggesting limited upside in the short term.
Hedge funds have increased their buying by 357% over the last quarter, indicating institutional confidence. Analysts have raised price targets modestly, and Canaccord highlighted progress in the company's turnaround efforts. The launch of Graco's innovative product could drive sales in the long term.
The company's financial performance remains weak, with declining revenue (-2.67% YoY) and negative net income, despite some improvement in EPS. Insider trading activity is neutral, and there is no recent congress trading data. Analyst ratings remain mostly neutral, with no strong buy signals.
In Q4 2025, revenue dropped by 2.67% YoY to $1.897 billion. Net income improved significantly but remains negative at -$315 million. EPS increased by 500% YoY to -0.78, but gross margin declined to 33.1%, down 4.28% YoY. The company is showing some signs of improvement but remains financially weak overall.
Analysts have raised price targets slightly, with the highest target at $8 (Canaccord), but most ratings remain neutral. Canaccord is optimistic about the company's turnaround, while others like UBS and Citi are cautious, maintaining neutral stances.
