Coty Slides 20% on FY25 Results and FY26 Outlook Reset
Coty Inc. (COTY) fell 20.12%, leading losses in the PRISM Emerging Consumer Products Index after reporting fiscal year 2025 and Q4 results. While results were broadly in line with expectations and gross margins expanded year-over-year, the company posted a full-year net loss of $381M and guided to sequential like-for-like and EBITDA improvement beginning in FY26, with a return to growth anticipated in the second half of next year.
Management emphasized new blockbuster launches such as Boss Bottled Beyond, a major push into fragrance mists across more than a dozen brands, and expanded digital initiatives as drivers of future growth. Coty also highlighted continued strength in prestige fragrances, which now account for 65% of sales, while mass cosmetics and U.S. retail softness weighed on recent performance. Despite transformation efforts and strategic launches, investor sentiment turned sharply negative on the near-term reset.
