Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are five key points explaining the approximate -9.3% movement in WD-40 Company (WDFC) stock between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025: 1. Concerns over Valuation and Future Earnings Decline: The company's stock was observed to have a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 34.6x in late August 2025, at a time when analysts were forecasting a decrease in earnings of approximately 7.9% for the upcoming year. This disparity between valuation and a deteriorating earnings outlook likely contributed to negative investor sentiment.

2. Stock Reaching a 52-Week Low: WD-40 Company's stock hit a 52-week low on October 1, 2025, trading at $193.64. This significant downturn, part of a broader 24.83% fall over the preceding year, indicated substantial pressure on the stock value amid fluctuating market conditions and evolving consumer demands.

3. Weaker-Than-Expected Guidance for Fiscal Year 2026: Following the release of its Q4 fiscal year 2025 results on October 22, 2025, any cautious or lower-than-anticipated guidance for fiscal year 2026 could have negatively impacted investor expectations. A similar scenario occurred after the Q1 2025 earnings report, where slower projected sales growth and a slight decline in gross profit margin for the rest of the fiscal year led to a stock drop.

4. Rising Operating and Promotional Expenses: A trend of selling, general, and administrative expenses, as well as advertising and sales promotion expenses, growing at a faster rate than net sales was noted in previous fiscal quarters. If this trend persisted, it would signal continued pressure on the company's operating income and overall net earnings.

5. Revenue Shortfalls Against Analyst Expectations: Despite overall growth in some periods, WD-40 experienced instances where its revenue did not meet analyst projections. For example, Q3 2025 revenue missed expectations, contributing to a negative market reaction, even though diluted earnings per share exceeded forecasts.

WD-40 Company (symbol: WDFC) sells primarily to other companies (Business-to-Business, or B2B) through a diverse network of distributors and retailers worldwide. These companies then sell WD-40 products to end-users, who can be individuals or businesses.

According to WD-40's annual report (10-K filing), no single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021. This indicates a broad and diversified customer base rather than reliance on a few dominant buyers.

However, based on their distribution channels, WD-40's major customers are the large retail chains, wholesale distributors, and online platforms that carry their products. Examples of the types of companies that serve as their major customers include:

Mass Merchandisers/General Retailers:
- Walmart (WMT)

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

WD-40 Company (WDFC) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several strategic initiatives:

Geographic Expansion: The company is focused on leading geographic expansion, particularly in high-potential international markets. This is considered a significant long-term growth opportunity, with strong performance observed in emerging markets such as India, Latin America, and the EIMEA (Europe, India, Middle East, and Africa) segment. WD-40 has transitioned Brazil to a direct market model and anticipates substantial growth in the region, aiming for it to become a $20 million+ market within three to five years.
Premiumization of WD-40 Multi-Use Product: A strategic focus on "premiumization and innovation" with products like Smart Straw and EZ Reach is expected to continue fortifying WD-40's market position and contributing to both revenue growth and improved gross margins. Premiumized products have already accounted for approximately half of multi-use product sales.
Growth of WD-40 Specialist Product Line: Driving the growth of the WD-40 Specialist product line is a "Must-Win Battle" for the company. Management is targeting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 15% for WD-40 Specialist sales, leveraging geographic expansion and product development within this line. This product line has demonstrated robust growth across various regions.
Digital Commerce Acceleration: Scaling e-commerce capabilities and digital expansion are anticipated to drive sales growth. E-commerce sales have already shown a year-over-year increase, indicating the importance of digital channels for global brand visibility and customer engagement.
Strategic Pricing: The company has demonstrated pricing power, with increases in average selling prices contributing to improved gross margins. This suggests that strategic pricing will likely continue to be a component of revenue growth, helping to offset potential inflationary headwinds and maintain profitability.

The company plans to accelerate its share repurchase activity to fully utilize its remaining authorization.

Outbound Investments

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, WD-40 sold certain homecare and cleaning product brands in its EIMEA segment.
The company is pursuing the sale of additional homecare and cleaning product portfolios in the Americas segment, expected in fiscal year 2026.
This strategy aligns with a shift towards higher-margin maintenance products, focusing on expanding the WD-40 Multi-Use Product and the WD-40 Specialist line.

Capital Expenditures

From fiscal years 2017 to 2021, capital investments were above the typical range due to spending on new office facilities and manufacturing equipment to increase capacity and improve proprietary delivery systems.
Free cash flow in fiscal year 2022 was negatively impacted by investments made in the United States supply chain.
Future capital allocation emphasizes strategic investments in digital commerce and supply chain optimization to support margin improvements.
