In other recent news, Leslie’s Inc. reported its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results, which showed revenue of $175.2 million, exceeding the consensus estimate of $172.93 million. However, the company posted an adjusted loss per share of -$0.22, slightly missing analyst expectations of -$0.21. The company’s full-year guidance also disappointed, with projected revenue between $1.304 billion and $1.37 billion, below the analyst consensus of $1.362 billion. S&P Global Ratings downgraded Leslie’s credit rating from ’B+’ to ’B’, citing higher leverage and compressed profitability as contributing factors.

Additionally, Leslie’s is set to be removed from the S&P SmallCap 600 index due to a decrease in market capitalization, which may affect the stock’s visibility and liquidity among investors. Meanwhile, Telsey Advisory Group lowered its price target for Leslie’s shares to $3.00 from $3.75, maintaining a Market Perform rating. The firm noted that Leslie’s adjusted EBITDA fell short of expectations, and the company’s guidance did not meet analysts’ estimates. Despite these challenges, Leslie’s reported a slight positive comparable store sales growth, the first in two years, as it continues to implement strategic initiatives aimed at improving its business operations.
