Shares of Estee Lauder have been gaining on optimism surrounding the revival of makeup products usage as pandemic-led restrictions have begun to ease, thanks to mass vaccinations. Incidentally, management in its third-quarter earnings call highlighted that some of its key market regions, such as China and Australia are witnessing recovery in makeup sales, as social engagements gradually normalize. Apart from this, we note that the company has been gaining from sturdy growth in skincare and fragrance brands, which also aided third-quarter performance, wherein top and bottom lines increased year over year. Estee Lauder’s online business has also been doing well, backed by investments to boost consumer’s digital shopping experience.
