Tupperware (NYSE:TUP) Brands' stock witnessed a significant surge of 19% to $2.40 on Tuesday, following the announcement of a major leadership change. This comes despite the company's year-to-date drop of 42%, and a more significant drop of 71.79% over the past year, according to InvestingPro's real-time metrics. The renowned manufacturer of food-storage and personal-care products revealed that CEO Miguel Fernandez is being replaced by Laurie Ann Goldman, former CEO of Spanx and Avon North America.
In conjunction with this leadership transition, Richard Goudis, former Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) CEO and Tupperware's executive vice chair, announced his resignation from all directorial roles within Tupperware. This news aligns with a broader overhaul of Tupperware's board, leading to the departure of four incumbent directors and the induction of three newcomers, including Goldman.
The newly restructured board will consist of 11 seats, with 10 earmarked for independent directors, marking a new chapter in the company's governance. The leadership change and board reshuffling are seen as strategic steps towards revitalizing Tupperware Brands, which has been grappling with a significant drop in its stock value over the course of this year.
InvestingPro's data highlights that Tupperware operates with a significant debt burden and is quickly burning through cash, as per InvestingPro Tips. Despite this, the company has managed to maintain impressive gross profit margins of 63.96% as of LTM2022.Q4. However, the company's revenue has been declining at an accelerating rate, with a decrease of 18.53% in the last twelve months, and a quarterly drop of 20.47% in FY2022.Q4.
The company's stock price movements have been rather volatile, with a significant return of 210.77% over the last three months, yet a large price uptick of 44.29% over the last six months, as per InvestingPro's real-time metrics. This volatility and the company's financial struggles may be factors contributing to the recent leadership changes.
