Valvoline (VVV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Valvoline Inc has demonstrated significant growth by adding 170 net new stores in the fiscal year, supported by a robust franchise pipeline, indicating a strong expansion strategy. The company has reported a solid same-store sales (SSS) growth of 4.9% for the third quarter, complemented by a 3.7% increase in average ticket size driven by premium offerings and traffic improvements. Additionally, with an expected EBITDA growth range of 12-17%, Valvoline appears well-positioned to capitalize on increasing market share and unit growth in the automotive services sector.
Bears say
Valvoline Inc's recent financial performance has indicated a concerning trend, particularly with its fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) guidance falling significantly below prior projections, ranging from $1.60 to $1.70 compared to initial expectations of $1.90. Additionally, while revenue for the fourth quarter was reported at $453.8 million, it slightly missed the consensus estimate, reflecting a growth of only 4.2% year-over-year, which may signal stagnation in demand or increased competition. Furthermore, the company's challenges with rising depreciation, interest, and tax expenses, compounded by a deteriorating product margin due to worsening used oil pricing, suggest potential operational inefficiencies and a negative impact on overall profitability.
