The Estee Lauder Companies Inc.

🧾 Earnings Recap – Q3 2026

Estée Lauder shares rose 3.4% following the third quarter results, as investors responded positively to raised full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, notable margin expansion, and strong performance across key growth markets and categories.

  • Organic sales rose 2% in the quarter, with 3 of 4 regions growing; Mainland China led with high single-digit growth and double-digit gains in priority emerging markets.
  • Margin performance was strong: Operating margin expanded significantly, recovering for the first time in four years, aided by gross margin gains and cost discipline.
  • Fragrance delivered double-digit organic sales growth across every region; skin care grew low single digits, while makeup's rate of decline slowed and hair care stabilized.
  • Online channel momentum continued, with fiscal year-to-date organic online sales growth of 10%, outpacing prestige beauty in the channel.
