Things to Note

Prestige Consumer has been benefiting from strong e-commerce operations, as more consumers are shifting to the online mode of shopping. The company has been investing toward brand-building efforts. Prestige Consumer is gaining from solid market share brand positions and efficient marketing initiatives. Apart from these, the company’s stringent cost management endeavors have been yielding. We believe that such upsides are likely to have benefited its performance in first-quarter fiscal 2022.

That being said, Prestige Consumer has been seeing lower consumption for some categories amid the pandemic. During the last reported quarter, the company saw declines in the North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare segments.
