The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.2 billion, suggesting a decrease of 9.3% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at 55 cents per share. The projection indicates decline of 64.3% from the figure reported in the year-ago period quarter. The cosmetics giant has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 110.1%, on average.
The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The Estee Lauder Companies has been bearing the brunt of weakness in the Asia travel retail coupled with slower-than-anticipated recovery in the prestige beauty across mainland China. Another factor dampening the company’s performance is the potential risks of more business disruptions across Israel and other regions of the Middle East. The persistence of these factors is likely to have hurt EL’s performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Apart from this, The Estee Lauder Companies’ international presence keeps it exposed to unfavorable foreign currency translation risks. We expect a 0.9% headwind from unfavorable currency rates on the top line during the fiscal second quarter.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, management anticipates reported net sales decline of 9-11% and organic net sales drop of 8-10%. Our model suggests a quarterly organic net sales decline of 8.2%. The adjusted earnings per share (EPS) on a constant currency basis are likely to have declined by 60-66% in the fiscal second quarter.
Yet, Estee Lauder Companies has a strong presence in emerging markets, which insulates it from the macroeconomic headwinds in the matured markets. Also, the company has been benefiting from strength in online business.
