Estee Lauder (EL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Estée Lauder Cos has demonstrated strong year-over-year growth, particularly within the fragrance sector, which recorded a 3.9% increase in sales during the last quarter, emphasizing the brand’s resilience in a competitive market. The company also benefitted from a significant increase in online sales, which constituted 31% of reported sales in FY25, reflecting a shift towards digital channels and enhancing overall revenue potential. Looking ahead, Estée Lauder's strategic initiatives have led to a positive revision in sales expectations for FY26, projecting a 5.0% year-over-year increase to $15.04 billion, underscoring a robust outlook for continued financial performance.
Bears say
Estee Lauder's financial outlook is negatively impacted by a projected decrease in FY26 earnings per share (EPS), which has been revised down to $2.10 from $2.24 due to continued segment contraction and weak conversion rates. The company's hair care segment experienced a significant decline of 14.5% in sales, while skin care sales dropped by 16.2% year-over-year, primarily attributed to persistent weakness in the Asia Pacific region and travel retail. Although the FY26 sales outlook aligns with previous expectations, the shortfall in EPS relative to consensus estimates raises concerns about the company's overall financial performance moving forward.
