Newell Brands Inc. has an operating margin of 0.5%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 30/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 0.9% the prior year.
Newell Brands Inc.'s revenue declined 5.0% year-over-year, from $7.6B to $7.2B. This contraction results in a growth score of 14/100.

Newell Brands Inc.'s current ratio of 1.07 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 22/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.
While Newell Brands Inc. generated $264.0M in operating cash flow, capex of $247.0M consumed most of it, leaving $17.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 36/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Newell Brands Inc. posts a -11.9% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $12 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 30/100. This is down from -7.8% the prior year.

Newell Brands Inc. reported a net loss of $285.0M while generating $264.0M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.
