What to watch on the call

Carried forward from the last transcript

Risks management flagged

  • Foreign-exchange volatility, tariff-refund uncertainty and political or economic instability remain risks.
  • Slower Mexico performance and developed-market category softness could test the growth trajectory.

Questions analysts left open

  • Whether gross-margin upside and the guidance increase are sustainable.
  • The return on higher advertising spend and the effectiveness of AI tools.
  • The U.S. toothpaste turnaround, pricing strategy, SG&A improvement run-rate and North American inventory levels.

Methodology

The report date comes from FN2's resolved corporate-events calendar and is marked estimated until the company confirms it. Consensus figures are the calendar's latest analyst estimates for the fiscal period and are not an FN2 forecast.

Risks and open questions are carried forward verbatim from FN2's structured analysis of the previous earnings call. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
