Estee Lauder (EL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Estée Lauder Cos. has demonstrated resilience in a challenging market environment, with strong performance in luxury brands contributing to double-digit growth across all regions in the second quarter. The company recorded a solid earnings beat, driven by improved gross margins and effective expense management, signaling successful execution of its profit recovery and growth plan. Additionally, with significant progress toward its fiscal 2025 targets and expectations of modest gross margin expansion, Estée Lauder appears well-positioned for sustainable sales growth and solid operating margins in the coming years.
Bears say
Estée Lauder's recent financial performance indicates significant challenges, especially in its key markets, evidenced by a 1% decline in constant currency sales last quarter and notable organic sales drops of -6% in EMEA and -11% in Asia Pacific. The company faces ongoing pressure in the global travel retail sector, with forecasted sales declines of 10% to 12% year-over-year for the upcoming quarter, primarily due to weakness in the Asia travel retail market. Additionally, the outlook for FY25 has been adjusted downward, with earnings per share estimates now at $1.36, reflecting heightened concerns about sustained growth in the face of declining sales across all major business segments except for fragrances.
