Edgewell Personal Care (EPC) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Edgewell Personal Care Inc. (NYSE: EPC) is a global consumer products company specializing in personal care and grooming solutions. Headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, Edgewell was established in 2015 following the spin-off of the household products division from its predecessor, Energizer Holdings. Since its inception, the company has focused on developing and marketing a diverse portfolio of well-known brands that serve everyday grooming, sun care and skin care needs.

The company’s operations are organized into two primary segments: Shave Care and Sun & Skin Care. Shave Care encompasses iconic razor brands such as Schick and Wilkinson Sword, along with associated shaving gels, foams and aftershave products. In the Sun & Skin Care segment, Edgewell offers a range of suncare brands including Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic and Coppertone, as well as targeted skin care lines such as the lifestyle brand Jack Black and the men’s grooming label Bulldog. Together, these offerings span mass-market, specialty and professional channels, serving consumers through retail partners, pharmacies, mass merchandisers and e-commerce platforms.

Edgewell’s global footprint extends across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, supported by manufacturing and distribution facilities strategically located to meet regional demand. The company has pursued growth through both organic brand investments and selective acquisitions, including the 2017 purchase of Ansell’s global consumer care business. This approach has allowed Edgewell to enhance its product capabilities, enter new markets and capitalize on emerging trends such as male grooming premiumization and sun safety awareness.

Edgewell is led by President and Chief Executive Officer James T. Gallogly, who oversees a senior management team responsible for product innovation, marketing, supply chain and sustainability initiatives. Under their direction, the company has prioritized brand building, operational efficiency and digital engagement to drive market share and long-term value. With a diverse brand portfolio and a commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs, Edgewell Personal Care continues to position itself as a leader in the global personal care industry.
