Scotts Miracle-Gro is rated a 'Buy' after a 7% post-earnings dip, trading at 15.7x forward P/E and yielding 3.9%. SMG's core focus, following the divestiture of Hawthorne Gardening, is on North American lawn and garden products, supported by strong brands and expanding retail channels. Operating leverage is improving, with mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth guided and the Bonnie Plants JV driving incremental portfolio uplift.
