Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the common stock of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (“Estée” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EL) between August 18, 2022 and May 2, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).
If you purchased or acquired Estée common stock, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact paralegal Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.
According to the Complaint, Estée manufactures, markets, and sells skin care, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products worldwide. The Company offers its products under the Estée Lauder, Clinique, Origins, M·A·C, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, La Mer, Aveda, Jo Malone London, TOM FORD, Too Faced, Dr.Jart+, and The Ordinary brands. The Company sells its products through department stores, specialty-multi retailers, upscale perfumeries and pharmacies, and salons and spas; freestanding stores; its own and authorized retailer websites; third-party online malls; stores in airports; and duty-free locations.
Defendants provided investors with material information concerning Estée’s expected revenue for the full year 2023. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, Estee’s progress made to improve cost structure, pricing power and strong cash generation. As a result, Estée forecasted net sales to increase between 3% and 5% versus the prior-year period, reported diluted net earnings per common share are projected to be between $7.11 and $7.33 and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are expected to increase between 5% and 7% on a constant currency basis.
On May 3, 2023, Estée issued a press release announcing weaker sales and profit for the year than estimated and accordingly cut its fiscal year outlook for a third consecutive time. Defendants attributed the further reduction in guidance to its Asia travel retail business, which continued to be pressured by the slower than anticipated recovery from the COVID pandemic.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $42.52, or 17.33%, to close at $202.70 per share on May 3, 2023.
