Spectrum Brands Holdings (SPB) reported
its Q4 2015 earnings on Thursday, November 22, 2015. The company reported
Q4 EPS of $1.13, $0.04 worse than the analyst estimate of $1.17. Revenue for
the quarter came in at $1.31 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.33
billion. Although the
company missed on both top and bottom line, the stock reacted positively to
strong updated company guidance for FY 2016. Before the company released
earnings the stock was priced at $92.45 per share but then rose approximately
4% to $96.18 post earnings. Spectrum Brands expects fiscal 2016 net sales, as
reported, to increase in the high-single digit range compared to fiscal 2015
reported net sales of $4.69 billion. Fiscal 2016 free cash flow is projected to
be approximately $505-$515 million compared to $454 million in fiscal 2015.
Capital expenditures, which were $89.1 million in fiscal 2015, are expected to
be in the rage of $110 million to $120 million. I believe the company’s strong
updated guidance including expected growth in sales and increase in capital
expenditures will provide expansion, and support of technology innovation for
the company which could definitely create an increase in value of the stock in
the future.
