Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SPB

11/13/2026: SPB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Spectrum Brands is a diversified consumer products company known for its presence in the pet care, home, and garden markets. While the company has historically utilized acquisitions to grow, it has recently shifted toward simplifying its portfolio and improving operational margins through its 'Spectrum First' program. Its primary opportunity lies in capitalizing on pet care trends and achieving greater efficiency through leaner supply chain operations. Key risks include intense competition from private-label retail brands and susceptibility to cyclical consumer spending. The stock may suit value-oriented and dividend-seeking investors who are comfortable with the company's ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and strengthen its balance sheet.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SPB receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SPB has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.5%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-50.5%), moderate revenue growth (+1.5%), soft profitability (net margin 1.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SPB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.5% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is SPB's strongest growth driver at +46.7% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+1.5%, moderate) and earnings growth (-50.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 120.9% and approximately 88.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.49% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Pzena Investment Management, LLC 10.53%
American Century Companies Inc 9.06%
BlackRock Inc 8.43%
Callodine Capital Management, LP 7.56%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.57%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SPB generates approximately $403 of gross profit, $39 of operating income, and $85 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Soft margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 32.48%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SPB has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
