Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Margin ImprovementImproved gross margins combined with strong operating expense leverage have expanded operating profit margins, creating a clearer path to higher earnings as cost savings scale.
Operational MomentumAnalyst notes a quarterly beat driven by healthy top-line growth and stronger operating margins, indicating improving underlying business momentum that could support share-price appreciation.
Product Innovation And MarketingFaster innovation cycles and successful new product launches, supported by contemporary marketing and celebrity partnerships, are helping attract younger consumers and drive category growth.
Bears Say
Guidance And Visibility RiskConservative full-year guidance aimed at rebuilding credibility leaves limited visibility on the pace of an earnings recovery, which may restrain investor confidence until clearer sales momentum emerges.
Travel Retail And Regional ExposureAsia and travel retail remain volatile due to airport concession transitions and tourism headwinds, causing uneven sales and operational disruptions in important markets.
Valuation And Upside RiskShares trade at a premium to beauty and luxury peers, suggesting much of the expected recovery is already priced in and limiting upside unless the company sustainably re-accelerates sales.

EL Earnings Call
Q2 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented multiple clear operational and financial improvements: revenue growth (4% organic), significant margin expansion, strong EPS and cash-flow gains, raised FY guidance, faster innovation cadence, and concrete brand- and channel-level wins (notably in China and online). Offsetting these positives are meaningful near-term costs and disruptions: a large restructuring charge (~$904M) and short-term migration costs related to the PRGP, travel-retail and Beijing/Shanghai online platform transitions, continued makeup category weakness, and regional softness in parts of Europe and Latin America. Management communicated confidence in the turnaround, emphasized PRGP benefits, and raised guidance while acknowledging the remaining execution work and transitory headwinds.View all EL earnings summariesEL Net sales Breakdown
