Scotts Miracle-Gro reported solid fiscal second-quarter results as higher volume and prices drove profit growth and margin expansion. But shares were down 3% in April 29 midday trading on concerns that fiscal 2027 results will be affected by higher fertilizer and energy input costs.
US household formation growth will drive demand for gardening products. As the market leader in consumer gardening products, Scotts will benefit from the secular housing trend.
While the recreational gardening industry is growing, consumers will increasingly prefer cheaper private-label and generic products, reducing Scotts' market share over time.
