The most oversold stocks in the consumer staples sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered oversold when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Here's the latest list of major oversold players in this sector, having an RSI near or below 30.

<li>On Feb. 10, Coty missed second-quarter earnings and revenue estimates. Sue Nabi, Coty&#8217;s CEO, said, &#8220;As we are now midway through our fiscal year, it is clear that FY25 is shaping up to be a pivotal year. On the one hand, the global beauty market continues to grow at a healthy pace, even if growth has moderated off of the elevated levels of the last few years, which benefited from more material pricing increases. And in this backdrop, fragrances of all price points continue to outperform most other beauty categories, which strongly benefits Coty&#8217;s business as fragrances account for over 60% of our revenues and an even bigger portion of our profits."

The home that launched a branding dynasty is hitting the market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">Kris Jenner</a>, the Kardashian/Jenner manager, matriarch, and business maven, is selling the iconic checkerboard foyer-ed home that became a signature during a decade-long run of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
The six-bedroom, eight-bath, 8,800-square-foot Hidden Hills, California house is listed for $13.5 million, as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/realestate/jenner-kardashian-house-sale.html">The New York Times first reported</a>. It played the backdrop as viewers became acquainted with Jenners' children: Kim, Kylie, Kendall, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob, during their hit TV show.
"I've shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family, and I'm excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners," Jenner told the Times in a statement.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Backdrop To Branding Juggernaut</h2>
Jenner, 69, has owned the home for 15 years after buying it in 2010 with then-husband and former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, who later became Caitlyn Jenner. The couple needed space. Kylie and Kendall Jenner were their biological kids, while each spouse brought four grown kids from previous relationships to the hybrid family.
By the time the Jenners moved in, the show had already been on for three years. The ensuing decade saw the Jenner/Kardashians build an entrepreneurial empire while spending lavishly to upgrade the home. After the Jenners finalized their divorce in 2015, Kris Jenner moved the home into a trust.&nbsp;
The home has been vacant for some time, turning into a TV timepiece —redesigned before its current listing—while Kris Jenner and her family moved between their extensive real estate portfolios.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So Many Homes She Forgot She Owned One</h2>
According to<a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/kris-jenner-keeping-with-kardashians-house-sale-photos/"> Realtor.com</a>, Jenner and her progeny have been active in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/40833294/super-bowl-winning-quarterback-buys-home-from-rapper-drake-lists-property-for-almost-7-million">Hidden Hills </a>real estate market in recent years. Jenner bought a home for $10 million in 2017 — across the street from daughter Kim — selling it three years later after an extensive renovation. In 2020, Kris and Kloe bought adjacent homes, the mother's costing a princely $20 million, before an extensive gut renovation, the results of which were featured on a 2022 episode of "The Kardashians."
In addition to spacious family homes, the brood also owns chic condos dotted around L.A. In fact, they own so many that Kris Jenner openly admitted, during<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11243133/Kris-Jenner-look-Kardashian-familys-EXPANSIVE-property-portfolio.html"> Season 2</a> of the show, that she forgot she owned a Beverly Hills condo.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Billionaires And Simply Multi-Millionaires</h2>
However, Jenner is not the wealthiest of her family members. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kylie-jenner/">According to Forbes</a>, that honor goes to the ubiquitous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42055763/kim-kardashian-praises-tesla-design-chief-for-cybercab-design-one-of-the-best-car-designers-ever">Kim Kardashian</a>, who is worth $1.7 billion, while Kylie Jenner is worth a not-too-shabby $710 million. Mom Kris Jenner is in third place with a respectable $170 million.
Unlike the branding bonanza that is her children's careers, Kris Jenner's cash comes from putting deals together and taking a cut for troubles. In Kim&#8217;s case, that means multiple TV shows, two lucrative businesses—KKW Beauty and Skims — and a slew of endorsements and investments.
According to<a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kylie-jenner/"> Forbes</a>, Kylie Jenner sold 51% of Kylie Cosmetics to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/02/43544383/the-analyst-verdict-coty-in-the-eyes-of-7-experts">Coty Inc</a>. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COTY#NYSE">COTY</a>) in January 2020 for $600 million. She pocketed some $540 million, pretax, with Kris controlling the deal and getting paid. And let's not forget older sisters Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, each worth around $60 million , while Kourtney Kardashian has about $65 million, according to TheThings. Not bad at all.

Kris Jenner Puts Her 'Keeping Up With The Kardashian' Mansion On the Market For $13.5 Million. Here's A Look At Her Property Portfolio

Stifel analyst Mark S. Astrachan reiterated a Hold rating on the shares of Coty Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COTY#NYSE">COTY</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $8.50 to $8.
Coty&#8217;s second-quarter FY25 results showed a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43607951/coty-reports-solid-1h25-financial-performance-with-strong-margin-expansion-and-cash-generation-in-" rel="noreferrer noopener">1% year-over-year decline in net revenue</a> on a like-for-like (LFL) basis, with the Consumer Beauty segment experiencing a 4% LFL drop, while Prestige grew by 1% LFL, noted the analyst.
The decline in Consumer Beauty, which represents around 33% of Coty&#8217;s sales, was driven by ongoing challenges in mass cosmetics and body care, though mass fragrances saw growth.
The Prestige segment, accounting for roughly 67% of Coty&#8217;s sales, was bolstered by growth in prestige fragrances, but was partially offset by declines in prestige cosmetics.
Coty&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached $391 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $386 million, marking a 7% year-over-year increase.
The adjusted gross margin stood at 66.8%, reflecting a 170 basis point increase from the previous year, driven by supply chain savings, pricing adjustments, and a reduction in excess and obsolescence charges.
The company lowered its F2025 guidance, projecting a 1% &#8211; 2% decline in organic sales for the second half of the fiscal year (compared to consensus growth of around 3% &#8211; 4%) and adjusted EBITDA between $1.115 billion and $1.125 billion (consensus of $1.177 billion).

Coty attributed this outlook to foreign exchange impacts and slowing growth in several categories, especially U.S. mass cosmetics, while prestige fragrances showed more modest deceleration.
The company noted that sell-out continued to outpace its sales, suggesting retailers are still working through inventory reductions, a trend likely to affect future performance, the analyst noted.
Given the ongoing weakness across the beauty sector and global markets, the analyst expected these results and the guidance cut.
The analyst sees a 5% reduction in consensus adjusted EBITDA estimates, with Coty&#8217;s stock expected to drop less than the anticipated revisions due to the already anticipated weakness.
J.P.Morgan analyst Andrea Teixeira reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares. Coty&#8217;s second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.22, excluding a -$0.11 loss from the mark-to-market of equity swap changes during the quarter, matched the analyst&#8217;s forecast and was a penny above Bloomberg&#8217;s consensus estimate of $0.21.
More notably, the company reduced its guidance once again, projecting weak second-quarter trends to continue into the second half of the year, and warned of a &#8220;broadly similar market environment&#8221; entering FY26, per the analyst.
Key variances from the analyst&#8217;s projections included a higher gross margin (+103 basis points) and lower taxes (-88 basis points below expectations), which were partially offset by disappointing sales results.
The company&#8217;s LFL sales performance also fell short of the expected 1% &#8211; 2% growth for the second-quarter, noted the analyst.
Price Action: COTY shares are trading lower by 7.90% at $6.235 at the last check Tuesday.

Stifel Maintains Hold on Coty, Lowers Price Target to $8

Coty shares are trading lower after the company missed Q2 earnings and revenue estimates.

Coty expects LFL sales trends in 2H25 which are broadly consistent with its Q2 LFL sales trend at -1% to -2%. The significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar is expected to drive a more material FX headwind in 2H25 of approximately 3%, resulting in FY25 reported sales declining in the low single digits percentage.
Given the complex retail demand environment, Coty now assumes a broadly similar market environment entering FY26. However, several key brand initiatives and distribution opportunities planned for FY26 should support some gradual improvement in Coty's LFL sales growth.
Finally, Coty expects FY25 free cash flow to grow roughly 10% YoY to approximately $400M. In light of the more uncertain environment for the next couple of quarters, further pressured by FX headwinds, Coty is targeting a year-over-year reduction in leverage exiting CY25 of 0.5x or more, resulting in leverage below 2.5x with the goal to reach closer to 2x, which factors in the cash true-up payment related to Coty's equity swap.&nbsp; &nbsp;
