Analyst projections of the future price of Pz Cussons stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
FY26 revenue rose 5.4%, with like-for-like growth across all four lead markets and the top ten brands. This gives the business a broad base for further growth rather than relying on one product or country. (PZ Cussons)
The balance sheet is much stronger: net debt fell to £25m from £112m, while free cash flow reached £54.7m. Lower leverage has supported a proposed 2.8% dividend increase and gives the group more room to invest. (PZ Cussons)
There are promising avenues for growth: Indonesia e-commerce sales rose by more than 50%, while St.Tropez returned to 6.9% growth in North America after two years of double-digit declines. These results suggest the refreshed brand and distribution plans are beginning to gain traction. (PZ Cussons)
Like-for-like growth slowed to 5.8% from 8.0%, and volumes grew only 1.5% as price and mix contributed 4.3%. That leaves performance reliant on pricing more than underlying unit growth. (PZ Cussons)
Trading remains uneven in developed markets: Europe and the Americas delivered only 0.9% like-for-like growth, with volumes down 0.3%, while adjusted operating profit in Asia Pacific fell 5.2%. Weakness in St.Tropez in Europe and the hair-care brands adds to the concern. (PZ Cussons)
The 24.5% rise in adjusted operating profit excluding Wilmar was helped by £5.4m of favourable foreign-exchange revaluation and £8.5m of cost savings, while adjusted earnings per share still fell 2.7%. This raises a question over how much of profit growth is reaching shareholders and can be repeated. (PZ Cussons)
