Consumer
Coty’s Weak Quarter Could Offer a Value Play

Coty Inc. (COTY) dropped more than 21% in premarket trading after releasing Q2 results that disappointed investors. Revenue fell 8% year over year to $1.25 billion, though the figure still came in ahead of consensus.
The real setback was earnings, with Coty posting an adjusted loss of $0.05 per share compared to expectations for a small profit. Tariffs, retailer destocking, and U.S. market weakness weighed heavily on performance.
CEO Sue Nabi acknowledged that the company lost share in its largest market due to weak execution and softer consumer demand. Inventory reductions also dragged on reported sales, while a lack of blockbuster new product launches made for a tough comparison against last year’s successes.
Even so, fragrances stood out as a bright spot, with Prestige growing 2% and mass fragrances rising 8% thanks to new launches like Adidas Vibes and BOSS Bottled Beyond.
Looking ahead, Coty is leaning on its fragrance dominance and operational restructuring to stabilize results. Management expects new launches, including Marc Jacobs makeup and expanded fragrance mists, to provide momentum later this year.
Its cost-saving “All-in to Win” program is targeting $200 million in productivity gains, while manufacturing shifts aim to offset $70 million in tariff headwinds.
Coty’s stock has been heavily punished, now trading below $4 and down more than 60% from its 2021 peak. For value-oriented investors, this could be an opportunity to build a position in a beaten-down consumer name.
If execution improves and blockbuster launches deliver, the upside from current levels could be meaningful.

Industrials
Nordson Tops Q3 Earnings as Medical Sales Jump

Nordson isn’t your typical industrial name anymore. The company’s latest quarter showed just how quickly it’s shifting from being a cyclical manufacturer into a steadier healthcare and advanced-technology play.
Fiscal Q3 results highlighted the change: medical and fluid solutions revenue jumped 32% to $219 million, powered by the $815 million Atrion acquisition. That business now makes up nearly a third of the portfolio, giving Nordson exposure to long-lived medical devices and critical fluid systems where margins tend to run higher.
The advanced technology division also posted 17% growth, driven by demand for precision components used in electronics and packaging.
Industrial precision solutions, once the crown jewel, held flat as polymer processing demand cooled. Even so, management nudged full-year EPS guidance toward the high end of its prior range, signaling confidence that the mix shift is cushioning cyclical weakness.
Investors have noticed. Nordson stock remains far below its 2022 highs, but sentiment has brightened as the market starts to value it more like a healthcare supplier than a machinery maker.
That re-rating process could take time, yet it suggests upside if the company continues executing on acquisitions and organic growth in its newer verticals.
Nordson is carving out a defensible growth path by tilting toward healthcare and advanced applications.
For long-term investors, the story is less about quarter-to-quarter volatility and more about building a compounding machine in industries that are structurally less volatile than industrial manufacturing.

Autos
Hertz Teams Up With Amazon to Sell Used Cars

Hertz’s new partnership with Amazon Autos could mark the start of a shake-up in how Americans buy used cars. Under the arrangement, shoppers can browse Hertz inventory through Amazon’s site, complete purchases online, and pick up cars at local Hertz Car Sales outlets.
The pilot launches in four major cities, with nationwide expansion planned.
What makes this different is the combination of Hertz’s trusted inspection process with Amazon’s scale. Cars from top brands will be priced competitively and backed by a 115-point certification, effectively giving Amazon a curated entry into the auto market without building infrastructure from scratch.
For Hertz, it’s a timely solution to monetize excess fleet vehicles and diversify revenue at a moment when rental trends have been uneven.
The move also taps into broader consumer behavior. More buyers are comfortable making big-ticket purchases online, and auto retail remains one of the last frontiers of digital disruption.
By putting cars alongside household goods and electronics, Amazon could normalize online car shopping in a way no dealer network ever could.
Success here would mean more than incremental sales, as it would position the company as a key partner in a potentially massive e-commerce category. Investors have long discounted Hertz as a legacy rental brand, but the Amazon partnership reframes it as a potential enabler of the next wave in car retailing.
If adoption scales, this could be the catalyst that shifts the narrative from survival to growth.

Poll: Which “alternate currency” would you most trust if the dollar collapsed?

Movers and Shakers

Walmart Inc. [WMT] – Last Close: $102.57
Walmart raised its full-year earnings and sales outlook after reporting Q2 revenue of $177.4 billion, topping expectations. Comparable sales rose 4.6% in the U.S., with e-commerce up 25% globally as online grocery and delivery continued to gain traction. Despite the upbeat results, shares are down about 2% premarket as investors weigh higher costs from tariffs, litigation, and restructuring.
The retail giant’s performance will be closely watched today as a barometer of consumer health. Walmart’s raised guidance suggests shoppers remain resilient, and management highlighted stable demand even as some prices rise. With the holiday season ahead, momentum in its digital business and Walmart+ subscriptions could remain catalysts.
My Take: WMT looks like a steady compounder. Short-term tariff noise could create entry points, but the long-term story is still intact with digital growth leading the way.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise [HPE] – Last Close: $21.04
HPE is gaining attention after announcing a deeper partnership with OpenText through its Unleash AI program. The collaboration integrates OpenText’s Aviator AI with HPE’s Private Cloud AI platform, designed to help enterprises deploy secure, scalable AI solutions. Shares are up nearly 3% premarket, reflecting optimism that HPE is positioning itself as a core infrastructure player in the AI ecosystem.
With a 2.5% dividend yield and a valuation below many AI peers, HPE is carving out a more defensive role in the sector. Investors will be watching if momentum continues into earnings, where clarity on AI-driven demand could support further upside.
My Take: HPE offers measured AI exposure with income attached. Not a hyper-growth story, but its hybrid cloud positioning makes it worth watching for steady gains.
CoreWeave Inc. [CRWV] – Last Close: $91.52
CoreWeave shares have fallen 50% from June highs after heavy insider selling, but Q2 results still beat expectations with $1.21 billion in revenue and narrower losses of -$0.27 per share. The stock is up 3% premarket today, suggesting traders may see a floor forming after weeks of steep declines.
As a GPU infrastructure provider for AI workloads, CoreWeave remains a high-growth story but with extreme volatility. Analysts are split, with price targets ranging from $32 to $180. The next earnings report in November will be critical to assess the sustainability of its expansion.
My Take: CRWV is high-risk, high-reward. Momentum traders may find short-term upside from a relief rally, but longer-term investors should wait for stabilization in margins and insider selling before committing heavily.
