For the nine-month period ending June 28, 2025, S&P estimates Scotts Miracle-Gro’s adjusted EBITDA grew by about 11% compared to the previous year, driven by lower raw material, production, and distribution costs. Meanwhile, Stifel lowered its price target on the company’s stock to $70.00 from $71.00, maintaining a Hold rating due to U.S. consumer uncertainty, but noted a "more positive bias" due to better-than-expected gross margin performance.
