Coty stock (ISIN US2220702037) was trading at USD 2.75 on the NYSE at 3:02 p.m. ET on October 5, 2026, up 3.38 percent from the prior close of USD 2.66. The latest earnings picture combines revenue resilience with a sharp profitability challenge.
Revenue beat met a weaker profit result
In fourth-quarter fiscal 2026, Coty generated USD 1.27 billion in revenue, above the USD 1.19 billion consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat on September 30, 2026. Revenue increased 1.3 percent from the prior-year quarter, but adjusted EPS was a loss of USD 0.02 against a consensus loss of USD 0.01, leaving the company short by USD 0.01.
Zacks reported on September 18, 2026, that adjusted gross margin fell to 60.9 percent from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted operating income declined 42 percent to USD 39.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA fell 26 percent to USD 93.6 million, showing that the revenue gain did not translate into stronger operating leverage.
Cash flow offsets the earnings pressure
Coty's investor-relations page lists USD 5.8 billion of net revenue, USD 847 million of adjusted EBITDA and USD 348 million of free cash flow for fiscal 2026, the year ended June 30, 2026, according to Coty. The company therefore converted a difficult profit year into higher cash generation, but the cash figure sits alongside a reported fiscal-year net loss of USD 590.2 million.
The main tension for investors is the gap between cash discipline and operating momentum. Fiscal 2026 revenue declined from USD 5.9 billion in fiscal 2025 to USD 5.8 billion, while operating cash flow increased from USD 492.6 million to USD 537.8 million.
Analysts see limited upside
MarketBeat said on September 30, 2026, that 13 brokerages carried a consensus rating of Reduce, with 11 holds and 2 sells. The average 12-month price target was USD 3.24, which places the target 17.8 percent above the USD 2.75 price.
The stock's market capitalization was USD 2.4 billion on October 5, 2026, while its 52-week range was USD 1.82 to USD 4.47. That range places the current quote 38.5 percent below the yearly high, keeping the next earnings update and margin trend central to the valuation debate.
