Movement Alert｜Estee Lauder Falls 5.26% in Regular Trading, Modest Guidance Raise Overshadows Quarterly Beat

Market Focus04:53

On November 3, Estee Lauder fell 5.26% in Regular Trading, trading at $103.81/share, with turnover of $6.97 billion.

The move followed a mixed market read of the company’s latest earnings release: quarterly results beat expectations and full-year guidance was raised, but the updated adjusted EPS range of $3.20 to $3.45 had a midpoint only slightly above the prior $3.10 to $3.35 range and close to the $3.32 consensus.

For the quarter, adjusted EPS was $0.72 versus the $0.51 market expectation, organic sales grew 6%, gross margin reached 75.7% with a 230-basis-point improvement, and adjusted operating margin rose to 12.1%, up 480 basis points. Management also highlighted strong fragrance demand and improving trends in China, but the limited scale of the guidance increase appears to have tempered investor enthusiasm despite the earnings beat.
