Sycamore Mid Cap Value Equity Gary H. Miller | “The stock declined due to below-consensus earnings-per-share projections, despite reporting solid current quarterly results. Sales were impacted by a vendor transition in China and projected tariff headwinds, though long-term valuations remain highly attractive.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
Hardman Johnston Global Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “Performance within Consumer Staples was driven by Estée Lauder Companies Inc., the portfolio's sole holding in the sector. Estée Lauder is in the midst of a turnaround, and fiscal 1Q26 results (ended September 30) results provided outperformance against many of the key touchpoints: sales, margins, China, US and Travel Retail. News flow since then points to a successful 11/11 for EL in China (25% of company sales), continued stabilization in the US and a Travel Retail channel that is no longer declining. Beauty overall is a one of the more resilient categories, enjoying both volume and value growth, and a hallmark of the 2025 holiday season is the “K shaped economy and consumer behavior” – as a major player in luxury beauty EL is at the nexus of these trends. Stock performance reflects optimism regarding continued progress driven by internal initiatives as well as optimism regarding the broader beauty market. BSD Analysis: Estée Lauder is a premium beauty franchise navigating post-pandemic normalization and China uncertainty. Brand equity remains strong, but channel mix shifts hurt near-term results. Inventory and cost resets are underway. Long-term beauty demand is resilient and global. Investors worry about growth deceleration, but premium positioning holds pricing power. When China stabilizes, earnings leverage is meaningful. This is a high-quality brand in a digestion phase.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
