Jefferies analyst Ashley Helgans upgraded Coty to Buy from Hold with a price target of $12, up from $11. With the shares down 28% year-to-date, Jefferies sees a “unique opportunity” to buy a beauty company at less than10-times EBITDA, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says premium fragrance remains the best performing category in beauty and that Coty is less exposed to China and travel retail versus peers. It is confident in the company’s ability to continue to expand its prestige portfolio and drive growth in underpenetrated markets.
