What Happened?
Shares of natural food company Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) fell 4.3% in the morning session after the stock extended its negative momentum as the company reported disappointing fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results that missed analyst expectations.
The natural food company posted an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share for the fourth quarter, falling short of the consensus estimate for a profit of $0.07. Revenue also disappointed, declining 13% year-over-year to $363.4 million, below the anticipated $379 million. For the full fiscal year, Hain reported a net loss of $531 million, a significant increase from the $75 million loss in the prior year, partly due to large non-cash impairment charges. In response to the poor performance, which the interim CEO acknowledged has “not met expectations,” the company is accelerating its restructuring efforts and plans to “aggressively” trim its brand portfolio.
Adding to investor uncertainty, management did not provide financial guidance for the next fiscal year, citing a lack of near-term visibility.
