S&P Global Ratings has revised its outlook on Energizer Holdings Inc. from stable to negative due to concerns over the company’s leverage, which is projected to reach approximately 6.3x in 2026, exceeding S&P’s downgrade threshold. The revision follows weak first-quarter fiscal 2026 performance and a forecast incorporating continued organic volume declines across key segments. S&P highlighted risks from weak consumer spending, input cost volatility, and significant tariff and restructuring costs, while noting the company’s efforts to sell down inventory and prepay debt.
