Buy Rating Justified for e.l.f. Beauty Amidst Promising Growth Prospects with Rhode AcquisitionWe believe the Rhode brand is still performing very well, although our estimate for Rhode to grow +3.8% YOY in ELF's FY26 (Mar-end) on a pro forma basis vs. FY25's $212M in sales. This is due to F4Q25 (Mar 2025-end) appearing to benefit from the pipe into Sephora. Rhode is still performing well, in our view, based on site traffic and in-store checks at Sephora. However, we believe prior expectations from the Street may have been too aggressive to start, leading us to lower our FY26 sales estimate for a contribution basis for ELF. Today's sell-off was likely driven by Rhode's margins being lower than anticipated, in addition to some choppiness in sales by quarter due to the pipe into Sephora.

Buy Rating for e.l.f. Beauty: Strong Financial Performance and Promising Growth ProspectsWe recently raised our rhode accretion estimates (see our 10/8 note here) following a record-breaking Sephora debut – 2.5x the next largest brand launch on record, with an estimated ~$10-15M in week-one retail sales and ~40% of shoppers new to Sephora and ~90% new to the rhode brand. Record launch performance reinforces our bullish view on rhode's existing brand equity, and longer term channel/geographic expansion opportunity, while we still acknowledge the inherent volatility of celebrity-backed brands. We model ~45% rhode topline growth for FY26–27 and 27.5% EBITDA margins, driving ~16% EPS accretion in FY27.
