Valvoline (VVV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Valvoline Inc. experienced robust growth in its store network, adding 56 net new locations in the latest quarter and reaching a total of 170 for the full year, highlighting a strong franchise pipeline that supports its expansion strategy. The company's same-store sales (SSS) demonstrated solid performance with a growth rate of 4.9% in the third quarter, driven by a combination of increased ticket prices and traffic, indicating a positive customer response and enhanced brand positioning. Valvoline's projected EBITDA growth of 12-17% signifies a strong financial outlook, suggesting the potential for continued earnings improvement as the brand capitalizes on its expansion and operational efficiencies.
Bears say
Valvoline Inc's financial outlook appears negative primarily due to lower-than-expected fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance, which is projected between $1.60 and $1.70, significantly down from prior expectations of $1.90. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was reported at $453.8 million, slightly below the consensus estimate, indicating potential challenges in meeting future revenue targets. Additionally, adverse factors such as higher depreciation, interest, and tax expenses, coupled with worsening used oil pricing impacting product margins, further contribute to concerns regarding the company's profitability and overall margin outlook.
