Analysts slash COTY targets after Q2 miss, guidance withdrawn

Watch: Watch for management commentary in upcoming investor calls or earnings beats in Q3 and beyond — the company needs to restore sales growth and clarify its strategic direction to justify any re-rating. Until then, the 41% downside cut by Canaccord reflects a reset lower.

Coty reported Q2 results that undershot expectations, and Q3 EBITDA guidance landed well below consensus — prompting Morgan Stanley and Canaccord to cut their price targets on February 9. Morgan Stanley slashed its target from $4.25 to $3.50 while Canaccord dropped from $3.50 to $2.50, both flagging leadership transition uncertainty and persistent negative sales growth as headwinds. The company withdrew its full fiscal 2026 guidance citing lack of visibility.

Two major investment banks losing confidence in near-term recovery signals deeper operational challenges beyond one bad quarter. The guidance withdrawal removes a key visibility metric just when investors need clarity, and negative sales momentum compounds the downside risk into 2026.
