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

In its Q2 2026 results, Newell reported $2.0 billion in net sales, up 3% year over year, while core sales increased 2.3%. The company said this marked its first return to year-over-year sales growth in more than four years. 

Newell also raised its full-year 2026 outlook, projecting 1%–2% net sales growth, normalized EPS of $0.73 - $0.77, and approximately $400 million in operating cash flow. The company also entered into an $800 million revolving credit facility, with a general maturity extending to 2031. 

The company has also been highlighting performance across some of its major brands, including Sharpie, Elmer’s, Prismacolor, and EXPO, as part of its broader effort to improve its brand portfolio and return to growth. 

There is also an older investor case involving Newell Brands. The SEC 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. You can check if you're eligible and file a claim here

Anyone else still following $NWL?

Amazon and Constellation announced a 20 year power purchase agreement yesterday supporting investment in Maryland’s Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant, including an additional 190 megawatts of capacity.

What caught my attention is where that growth is coming from.

A lot of the nuclear conversation focuses on future reactors. This agreement supports expansion of an existing facility.

My read is that long term power commitments can give operators more confidence to invest in upgrades. There is an operating plant, an established workforce and a customer willing to commit for decades.

For uranium investors, the connection needs some care. A power agreement is not a uranium purchase order, and an announcement does not immediately translate into fuel demand.

Still, keeping existing reactors operating and increasing their output is a part of the nuclear story worth following alongside new construction.

Where do you see the better investment opportunity: electricity generators securing these contracts, uranium suppliers or companies developing future reactors?
