Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ:HELE), a company known for its consumer products in housewares, health, and beauty, is preparing to release its quarterly earnings.

Investors are watching Helen of Troy closely as Wall Street estimates earnings of $0.02 per share on revenue of $374.55 million.

The revenue estimate, however, shows a slight increase from last year’s $371.65 million.
The company’s recent past includes significant difficulties. As highlighted by PR Newswire, a pending securities class action lawsuit alleges that operational failures related to its “Project Pegasus” were concealed.
