Estee Lauder (EL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Estée Lauder Cos. has demonstrated a robust online sales growth, with reported online sales reaching 31% of total sales in FY25, an increase from 28% in FY24, reflecting the company's effective digital strategy. The company has revised its FY26 sales outlook positively, projecting a 4.5% year-over-year increase to $14.92 billion, which surpasses previous estimates. Furthermore, Estée Lauder anticipates its revenue growth will not only align with but slightly exceed the projected low single-digit growth of the prestige beauty market, indicating a strong competitive position in the industry.
Bears say
Estee Lauder Cos has revised its fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimate down to $2.10 from $2.24, indicating reduced profitability expectations. Additionally, the company's sales performance has been negatively impacted by a 28% year-over-year contraction in a key segment attributed to strategic decisions and ongoing weak consumer conversion rates. The firm is facing challenges from subdued consumer sentiment in Western Europe and volatility in the China/Asia travel retail markets, which have contributed to significant stock pressure since early 2022.
