ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 58.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #819 of 7,333 stocks, ENR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling.

ENR earns a quality score of 80/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 95.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 41.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 4.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
From a valuation perspective, ENR scores an exceptional 92/100, indicating the stock trades at a deep discount relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 11.41x, an EV/EBITDA of 11.10x, a P/B ratio of 10.87x. A value score this high suggests the market may be significantly underpricing the company's earnings power, assets, or cash flow generation.
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.'s investment score of 39/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 17.4% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 3.0% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC. is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 25/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at 17.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.72 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
ENR shows good financial stability with a score of 68/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.72 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 3045.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.'s short interest score of 33/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 3045.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.5B (small-cap), ENR carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC. offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.9%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #819 of 7,333 overall (89th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 95.3% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 4.8% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While ENR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
