Description: HELE Helen of Troy December 26, 2025

Helen of Troy Ltd. (NASDAQ: HELE) designs, manufactures, and markets a diversified portfolio of consumer products across two segments – Home & Outdoor and Beauty & Wellness – serving North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, APAC and Latin America.

The Home & Outdoor segment includes food-storage and kitchen tools, insulated beverageware, and a range of travel-and-sports packs (e.g., OXO, Hydro Flask, Osprey). The Beauty & Wellness segment covers hair-care appliances and grooming tools (Hot Tools, Curlsmith) as well as health-monitoring devices and water-air filtration systems (PUR).

In FY 2023 the company generated $2.0 billion of revenue, up 5 % year-over-year, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~13 % and a diluted EPS of $2.10 – both modestly above the household-appliance sub-industry averages, reflecting strong brand pricing power and efficient supply-chain management.

Key drivers for HELE include continued consumer spending on premium home-goods as remote-work persists, and the secular shift toward health-focused indoor air-quality products, which have grown at ~8 % CAGR globally. However, exposure to raw-material cost volatility (e.g., plastics, aluminum) and a modest slowdown in discretionary retail traffic remain material risks.
