What the Analysts think about CENT
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Central Garden & Pet stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted non-GAAP EPS climbed 18% year-over-year to $1.56 in Q3, beating the $1.43 analyst forecast and demonstrating margin gains from the Cost and Simplicity program.
Management reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 non-GAAP EPS guidance at around $2.60, reflecting confidence in consistent earnings growth despite a challenging macro environment.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $713 million as of June 28, 2025—up $143 million year-over-year—strengthening the company’s liquidity and lowering gross leverage to 2.9×.
Net sales for Q3 fell 4% year-over-year to $961 million, missing the $991.7 million consensus and indicating weak top-line momentum.
Pet segment net sales declined 3% in Q3, reflecting softer demand for durable pet products and ongoing product assortment rationalization, which limited segment operating income.
Garden segment sales were down 4% in Q3, mainly because the company lost two third-party distribution product lines and the spring arrived late, showing continued sensitivity to seasonal fluctuations.
