Valvoline's Management Reinforced Confidence in Top-Line Momentum, RBC Says

Valvoline's (VVV) management reinforced confidence in the company's top-line momentum and ability to navigate a higher cost environment and potential supply hindrances, RBC Capital Markets said Thursday.Management views the category as largely discretionary and believes a $100 oil change twice a year is better than costly repairs or trading up to a newer vehicle, according to the note. Importantly, April and May trends were very consistent with the March quarter, the note added.Management largely dismissed investor concerns around supply constraints, noting that they have seen no impact to date and feel well positioned moving forward given their size, scale and supplier relationships, the brokerage said.Share repurchases could also commence within the next three quarters, and the brokerage said it walked away from the meeting with increased conviction in the team's ability to beat fiscal 2026 guidance.RBC kept an outperform rating on Valvoline with a price target of $47.Price: $36.81, Change: $+0.48, Percent Change: +1.34%

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Valvoline Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target of $38, based on a P/E of 17.3x our FY 27 (Sep.) EPS estimate, a justified discount to the stock's 10-year average forward P/E of 19.2x. Following VVV's earnings release, we are maintaining our estimates and our Hold opinion on the shares. Our adjusted EPS estimates remain $1.80 for FY 26 and $2.20 for FY 27. VVV posted Q2 FY 26 (Mar.) adjusted EPS of $0.41 vs. $0.34 (+21%), well ahead of the $0.34 consensus. Revenue rose 25% to $504M ($9M above consensus), and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 60 bps to 26.5% (160 bps ahead of consensus). VVV's top-line growth should accelerate to 21% in FY 26 (vs. 6% in FY 25), driven by 162 net new stores added through its acquisition of Breeze AutoCare on December 1, 2025 (for $593M) plus SSS growth of approximately 6%. SSS growth is benefiting from a record-high average U.S. vehicle fleet, which is increasing maintenance frequency. Still, we view the stock's valuation as fair, preferring other names in the auto retail space.

Valvoline Likely to Top Q2 Estimates on Solid Same-Store Sales, Pricing Actions, RBC says

Valvoline (VVV) is expected to deliver fiscal Q2 results ahead of Wall Street estimates, supported by solid same-store sales growth and pricing actions that should offset rising input costs, RBC Capital Markets said in a report Monday.The firm expects fiscal Q2 same-store sales growth of 5.7% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $126 million, both above consensus, citing strong demand and pricing momentum that should offset "base oil inflation," which it views as "overdone," according to the report.Looking ahead, the company is seen as well positioned to manage inflationary pressures, with pricing expected to largely offset higher base oil costs. The firm said current guidance could prove conservative, leaving room for a potential "beat and raise" outcome that may support a positive market reaction.Over the medium term, the company is expected to benefit from stronger growth and higher margins following the sale of its global products division, with mid-teens sales growth seen as "achievable" alongside continued unit expansion, the report said.RBC has an outperform rating on Valvoline with a price target of $46.Price: $33.22, Change: $-0.01, Percent Change: -0.05%
