Valvoline (VVV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Valvoline Inc. reported the addition of 56 net new system-wide stores in the latest quarter, increasing the total to 170 for the year, which underscores a robust franchise pipeline and significant growth opportunities within the automotive maintenance sector. The company experienced a same-store sales (SSS) growth of 4.9%, with an adjusted figure of 5.7% that accounts for the Easter timing shift, driven by a combination of increased ticket prices and customer traffic, further demonstrating Valvoline's strong market performance. Additionally, Valvoline's projected EBITDA growth of 12-17% highlights the company's potential for operational efficiency and profitability, positioning it favorably in the competitive landscape.
Bears say
Valvoline Inc. has adjusted its financial outlook, lowering its fiscal 2026 EPS guidance to a range of $1.60-$1.70, which is significantly below previous projections of $1.90, indicating a deterioration in expected profitability. Additionally, while revenue for the fourth quarter was reported at $453.8 million, it fell short of consensus expectations, which were slightly higher at $454.4 million, suggesting challenges in meeting market forecasts. The company's commentary on increased costs related to depreciation, interest, and tax expenses, along with declining used oil pricing negatively impacting product margins, further exacerbates the concerns surrounding its financial health and outlook.
