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.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is also a head-scratcher. EL YTD mountain Estee Lauder YTD performance Estee Lauder just shocks me. Estee Lauder, at the end of this week, acted like there was something going on, but I can't fathom what it might be. That said, there's a suit going on in Northern California with a dying 24-year-old man claiming that excess use of J & J baby powder is to blame, which could make $8.9 billion look small. Bottom line Johnson & Johnson, Estee Lauder and Danaher are why this business of stock picking and running a portfolio can be so daunting.
