With the headline figures on the table, the next step is to see how these results line up with the prevailing market stories about Hain Celestial, and where the numbers start to challenge those widely held narratives.

Losses Still Heavy On A Full Year View

• Over the last twelve months, Hain Celestial generated about US$1.5b in revenue but recorded a net loss of roughly US$531.8 million and basic EPS of US$5.89 loss, which is far wider than the single quarter loss of US$20.6 million and EPS loss of US$0.23 in Q1 2026.
• Bears argue that worsening earnings over five years, with losses growing at an annual rate of 73.4%, point to ongoing margin pressure and weak cash generation.
  • That five year loss trend lines up with the trailing twelve month net loss of US$531.8 million versus quarterly losses that have stepped up from US$19.7 million in Q1 2025 to US$272.6 million in Q4 2025.
  • Critics highlight that analysts do not expect a return to profitability within the next three years, which fits with the current loss profile even as quarterly losses have recently been smaller than the worst quarters in 2025.

What skeptics see in this wide gap between one year losses and modest revenue growth is a business that still has a lot of work to do on margins before earnings can stabilise. 🐻 Hain Celestial Group Bear Case

Revenue Drifts While Market Grows Faster

• On a trailing and forecast basis, revenue growth around 1.9% per year sits well below a US market forecast of 10.2% per year, and quarterly sales have ranged from US$418.8 million in Q4 2024 to US$367.9 million in Q1 2026 without any clear acceleration.
• Analysts' consensus view ties this slow revenue pace to execution issues in key categories and heavier competition, even as they expect some help from cost savings and pricing efforts.
  • The data shows revenue moving around the US$360 million to US$410 million range over the last six quarters while earnings stayed negative, which supports the idea that volume and pricing have not yet fully offset cost and mix pressures.
  • At the same time, the consensus narrative references planned cost savings of over US$25 million by the second half of fiscal 2026, and those savings would matter more if revenue can at least hold around the current US$1.5b annual run rate.

Cheap P/S Multiple Versus Peers

• The stock trades on a P/S of 0.1x, versus a peer average of 3.8x and industry average of 0.8x, and the current share price of US$0.99 sits well below a DCF fair value of about US$7.93.
• Bulls argue that this deep discount, combined with planned margin improvement, could set up a recovery if the business can move closer to industry type profitability.
  • The gap between the US$0.99 share price and the US$7.93 DCF fair value is very large, while analysts as a group also point to an allowed price target of US$2.05, higher than where the stock trades today.
  • Supporters point to initiatives like portfolio review and over US$25 million of planned cost savings by late fiscal 2026 as levers that could help close part of that valuation gap if they translate into smaller losses or eventual profits.

For investors weighing this valuation mismatch, the key question is whether the current discount reflects temporary execution problems or a longer term earnings ceiling. 🐂 Hain Celestial Group Bull Case
