THE TD COWEN INSIGHT Overall, we walked away from the call more constructive on EL's path to growth but a combination of higher tariff impact, elevated expectations ahead of 4Q, & weakness in Europe and travel retail sell through trends could be factors that weighed on the stock. EL is taking the right steps, in our view, to transform the company, but we continue to monitor signs of longevity in a tougher backdrop.
