Movement Alert|Estee Lauder Falls 5.07% in Regular Trading, Full-Year Guidance Below Expectations Weighs on Shares

Market Focus06-18

On June 17, Estee Lauder fell 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $83.02/share, with turnover of $199 million, as the stock continued to face selling pressure following disappointing forward guidance.

On the news front, Estee Lauder reported Q4 sales of $4.23 billion, in line with analyst expectations, while adjusted EPS of $0.89 beat the consensus estimate of $0.83. However, the company's full-year outlook disappointed investors, projecting net sales growth of 3% to 5%, with the midpoint falling below analysts' expected 4.3% growth. Adjusted EPS guidance of $2.05 to $2.25 also came in below the consensus midpoint of $2.16.

The weaker-than-expected guidance reflects increased marketing expenditures as the company pursues brand repositioning initiatives, compounded by ongoing tariff-related cost pressures. Within the Personal Products sector, broad weakness was observed, with Coty down 7.97%, e.l.f. Beauty down 7.16%, Unilever down 2.47%, and Kenvue down 2.36%.
