Sales Growth

Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years.

With $2.90 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Energizer carries some recognizable products but is a mid-sized consumer staples company. Its size could bring disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from better brand awareness and economies of scale.

As you can see below, Energizer’s demand was weak over the last three years. Its sales fell by 1.3% annually, a tough starting point for our analysis.

This quarter, Energizer missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 0.1% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $662.9 million of revenue. Company management is currently guiding for a 1% year-on-year decline in sales next quarter.
