Things To Note

Nu Skin is battling persistent macroeconomic challenges. Macroeconomic factors and related price increases have been affecting certain key markets — causing a slowdown in consumer spending and customer acquisition. Nu Skin’s international presence keeps it exposed to risks of unfavorable foreign currency translations. The persistence of these factors is likely to have hurt NUS’s performance in the third quarter of 2023.

For the third quarter, Nu Skin expects revenues between $500 million and $540 million, including an unfavorable foreign currency impact of 1-2%. The projection suggests a decline of 7% to a 0.5% rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported level.

Nu Skin is benefiting from strength in the Nu Vision 2025 strategy. The company is progressing with the core elements, including the introduction of EmpowerMe, personalized beauty and wellness strategy, expansion of its affiliate-powered social commerce business model and enhancement of its digital platform. The company has been successfully launching innovative beauty devices, which have become an essential part of its growth. For the third quarter, management expects earnings of 54-69 cents a share, reflecting a year-over-year growth.
