Nov 4 close
$112.04+6.65 (+6.3%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryNov 4 closeEstée Lauder used its Capital Markets Experience event in Shanghai to lay out a "next chapter" growth plan through fiscal 2030, targeting mid-single-digit organic sales growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth annually, alongside a path to 18.5% margin by 2030. This follows fiscal first-quarter results reported on 2 November, in which net earnings rose to $233 million from $47 million a year earlier, EPS of $0.72 beat the $0.51 estimate, and the company raised its fiscal 2027 organic sales outlook to a range of 4% to 5.5%, with organic fragrance sales up 20% in the quarter. The stock's reaction to the print itself was negative, down 3.5%, even as commentary pointed to improving China momentum and expanded use of artificial intelligence and regionalized operations.
EL closed at $112.04, up 6.3%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $100.59 and 200-day average of $91.45, with the shorter average above the longer one. The GekkoIndex reads 46.6, placing the stock in the Neutral zone, down 1.8 over five sessions. Price stands 17.4% above Gekko Fair Value of $95.41.
The next earnings date is 3 February 2027, 90 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day hold.
