Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: NWL) designs, manufactures, sources and distributes a broad portfolio of consumer and commercial products across three segments: Home & Commercial Solutions (e.g., Rubbermaid, Crock-Pot, Calphalon), Learning & Development (e.g., Sharpie, Paper Mate, Graco) and Outdoor & Recreation (e.g., Coleman, Marmot). The company serves mass-merchandisers, discount retailers, e-commerce platforms and direct-to-consumer channels worldwide from its Atlanta headquarters.
In its most recent fiscal quarter (Q3 2025), Newell reported revenue of $5.1 billion, a 4.2 % year-over-year increase, with an operating margin of 9.5 % and adjusted EPS of $0.71. Free cash flow stood at $350 million, while net debt-to-equity remained at 1.2 ×, indicating a moderate leverage profile. The company’s dividend yield is currently around 1.5 %.
Key drivers for the housewares & specialties sector include sustained consumer spending on home-improvement and kitchen upgrades, a rebound in discretionary retail sales as inflation eases, and accelerated e-commerce adoption that benefits Newell’s direct-to-consumer channels. Supply-chain resilience and raw-material cost trends also remain material influences on margins.
