What are Wall Street analysts saying about Edgewell Personal Care stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Edgewell Personal Care stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Edgewell Personal Care Co. manufactures and markets personal care products. The company's brand consists of Schick(R) and Wilkinson Sword(R) men's and women's shaving systems and disposable razors; Edge(R) and Skintimate(R) shave preparations; Playtex(R), Stayfree(R), Carefree(R) and o.b. (R) feminine care products; Banana Boat(R) and Hawaiian Tropic(R) sun care products; Playtex(R) infant feeding, Diaper Genie(R) and gloves; Wet Ones(R) moist wipes. Edgewell Personal Care Co., formerly known as Energizer Holdings, is based in St Louis, United States. " (4/7/2020)
2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "Wet Shave category improved to +1-2%, but EPC continues to lose share in the U.S. and globally; and (3) FQ4 EPS is expected to be down -25% y/y at the mid-point, with gross margin down (~300bps) & higher A&P spending. Importantly, the Harry’s acq. remains on track to close in and while it will likely be materially dilutive in FY20, it should set up a better trajectory for long-term growth. Looking forward, we believe a combination of continued underlying improvement, a stabilization of the Wet Shave category and better visibility/closing of Harry’s will be needed in order for shares to move higher. All of these potential catalysts will take time to develop and therefore we maintain our $30 price target." (8/7/2019)
