Comet

Comet Market Overview

I need to verify whether Comet (the cleaning products brand) or its parent company is publicly traded before writing the overview.The Comet cleaning brand is owned by KIK Custom Products, which is privately held (backed by Centerbridge Partners), so no ticker should be mentioned. According to offline retail data from Grips Intelligence covering January 1 to June 30, 2026 across five channels—Amazon, Menards, Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware—Comet saw its revenue decline 14.8% over the period, alongside a steep 23.8% drop in average product price to roughly $3.05. Grips Intelligence data shows Amazon commanded the largest share of in-store revenue at 43.3%, followed by menards.com at 21.8% and lowes.com at 15.9%. In the second quarter alone, monthly revenue fell 11.9% versus the prior month while the average price slipped to $2.75. Together, the two largest channels—Amazon and Menards—accounted for roughly 65% of Comet's tracked revenue. These trends point to notable pricing pressure and revenue softness for the brand across its key retail channels during the first half of 2026.
