Lifetime Brands upgraded to soft buy as revenue and profits improve despite one-time tariff refund

Lifetime Brands saw a 7.5% rise in core US revenue driven by higher prices and strong Home Solutions sales, with solid international growth except in the UK. Profitability metrics jumped due to a $40.1 million tariff refund, but underlying EBITDA remained flat year over year when adjusted. The company trades at low EV/EBITDA multiples compared to peers, and ongoing operational improvements and cost reductions support a positive long-term outlook. This upgrade reflects improved fundamentals despite some one-time benefits.

Lifetime Brands is noted for its low EV/EBITDA multiples compared to peers, signaling potential value. For readers following the Consumer Cyclical sector, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 26, 2026 00:01 WIB: out of 112 priced US stocks, 71 rose and 41 fell.
