Newell Brands has reported several updates in 2026 as the company continues its turnaround efforts and works to improve sales and cash flow.

Newell also raised its full-year [2026 outlook](https://ir.newellbrands.com/stock-information/stock-quote-chart), projecting 1%–2% net sales growth, normalized EPS of $0.73 - $0.77, and approximately $400 million in operating cash flow.

There is also an older investor case involving Newell Brands. [The SEC ](https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/distributions-harmed-investors/matter-newell-brands-inc-michael-b-polk)found that Newell and former CEO had made misleading statements about core sales growth and other financial metrics during 2016 and 2017. The SEC ordered Newell and Polk to pay a combined $12.5 million, which was placed into a Fair Fund for investors with recognized losses.
The issue became public after Newell reported disappointing third-quarter results on November 2, 2017, and $NWL fell approximately 25%. Even though the original claim deadline passed, late claims are currently being considered, subject to approval.

Anyone else still following $NWL?
