Estee Lauder tumbled Wednesday as investors focused on the company's weak fiscal fourth-quarter outlook instead of its strong third-quarter numbers.

These are signs the worst should be behind Estee Lauder. While full-year adjusted earnings are still expected to decline on an annual basis, Estee Lauder encouragingly bumped up its outlook.

☆ Estee Lauder sinks on disappointment that CEO Fabrizio Freda didn't have better news about China
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Estee Lauder shares declined Thursday after CEO Fabrizio Freda offered an underwhelming outlook on China at a retail conference earlier in the day. Freda, who has been CEO for 14 years, said China remains an important growth segment for Estee Lauder, and the trend of more consumption there is not changing. While management is confident that performance will improve going forward, we still see Estee Lauder as a "show me" story. In the second half of fiscal 2024, Estee Lauder said it's positioned for stronger profitability versus the first half.

☆ Estee Lauder stock soars as CEO calls 'inflection point' — why we remain guarded
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

Shares of Estee Lauder popped more than 13% Monday after the cosmetics company delivered better-than-expected results for its fiscal second quarter. That represents a sizable miss versus the greater than 70% growth expected by analysts. About that inflection point: On the post-earnings conference call, Freda said the company is positioned to return to organic sales growth for the total company in the third quarter and organic sales growth to sequentially accelerate in the fourth quarter. The Asia/Pacific region had a 7% organic sales decline on continued weakness in Mainland China. More specifically, a decline in online sales more than offset sales growth in brick-and-mortar locations.

It's no secret: Estee Lauder (EL) has lost its way. Fabrizio Freda, the CEO of Estee Lauder since July 2009, was once an industry "wunderkind," Jim Cramer acknowledged Tuesday. Shares of Estee Lauder have fallen 50% year to date and lost two-thirds of their value over the past two years. We have been expecting consecutive poor quarters from Estee Lauder since China's post-Covid economic rebound has stalled. Rather, the investment case is more about how Estee Lauder can right the ship.

Estee Lauder (EL) has the dubious distinction as the worst-performing stock in our portfolio in 2023, and we're growing less optimistic about CEO Fabrizio Freda's ability to right the ship. Jim added he may consider selling Estee Lauder due to the uncertainty that lies ahead. Alongside fiscal Q1 results, Estee Lauder management cut its fiscal 2024 outlook suggesting the trajectory of getting back on track for China consumer demand growth will take longer than expected. Jim believes the Club has been patient and has given Estee Lauder the time required for inventories in its Asia travel retail business to normalize.

That made the horrendous downward revision delivered by Estee Lauder's management team extremely disappointing.

Organic sales are expected to decline 10% to 8%, below the 3.6% estimate. Profit recovery plan Management attempted to mitigate investor frustration by announced a turnaround strategy.

☆ Will Chinese deflation help cure the West’s inflation problem?

New York CNN —The Chinese economy has hit a rough patch. What’s happening: Chinese consumer spending, factory production and investments in long-term assets like property or machinery all slumped last month. On Monday, the Chinese government surprised investors by deciding not to cut an important interest rate that influences mortgages. The beauty company is “mindful of the headwinds that have emerged in China’s economy,” said the report. And even still, many regional banks have struggled to prevent deposit outflows.

Aug 18 (Reuters) - Estee Lauder (EL.N) forecast annual sales and profit below estimates on Friday, indicating a slower-than-expected rebound in its travel retail business, mainly in Asia, and waning demand in the United States, sending its shares down about 3%. Analysts note that the drop in consumer demand in China and a slow recovery in Asia travel retail - sales made at airports or travel destinations like Korea and China's Hainan - could impact luxury companies like Estee, which makes about 30% of its annual revenue from the Asia Pacific region. "De-stocking and inventory levels in Asian Travel Retail… likely to remain the biggest headwind to growth over the next few quarters," said Bernstein analyst Callum Elliott. Estee expects full-year sales to rise between 5% and 7%, compared with an estimated 8.8% increase, according to Refinitiv data. It sees annual adjusted profit to be between $3.50 and $3.75 per share, compared with an expectation of $4.83.

Analysts have said the drop in consumer demand in China and a slow recovery in Asia travel retail - sales made at airports or travel destinations like Korea and China's Hainan - could impact luxury companies like Estee, which makes about 30% of its annual revenue from the Asia Pacific region. "Asia travel retail pressured results, particularly in Skin Care, and we continued to experience softness in North America," CEO Fabrizio Freda said in a statement. Estee Lauder's Americas region reported flat net sales compared to a year ago, while Asia-Pacific reported a 29% increase in sales. The company expects annual adjusted profit per share to be between $3.50 and $3.75, compared with analysts' expectation of $4.83. However, on an adjusted basis, Estee earned a profit of 7 cents per share, compared to an estimated loss of 4 cents per share.

Shares of Estee Lauder (EL) fell nearly 3% on Friday after the cosmetics company delivered weaker-than-expected guidance for the coming year. The midpoint of management's guidance for full year net sales growth is 6%, implying about $16.86 billion. Management expects first-quarter sales to decline 11% at the midpoint, implying sales of $3.5 billion, well below the $3.94 billion estimate. Analysts were looking for Estee Lauder to make a combined total of $3.58 per share in that time frame.

Beijing abandoned its zero-Covid policy in December and scrapped longstanding quarantine requirements for international arrivals in January, ending restrictions that had isolated its economy. The welcomed, if abrupt, policy U-turn led to hopes that China could help propel global growth as it had before the pandemic. The idea was that as soon as the zero-Covid policy would be over, the Chinese households and consumers would just go berserk. Starbucks warned last Tuesday that sales growth in China was starting to cool — and likely would continue that trajectory over the next six months.
