ULTA: This Mega Beauty Retailer Continues to Grow

ULTA continues its growth trend

By Louis Navellier

ULTA stores, averaging 10,000 square feet and hosting 20,000 beauty, hair and bath products, give women a chance to compare and contrast, touch and see these products.


The stores also offer full-service salons, so you can get your hair cut and then buy the hair products or get a mani-pedi and pick up the nail polish for touch ups.


ULTA isn’t just satisfied with its 800+ brick and mortar megastores. It’s now experimenting with smaller 5,000-square-foot stores and opening in smaller markets.

Online sales are up 40% for the year.

Buy Alert: Ulta

by Josh Arnold

Summary

Ulta reported a fantastic Q2 yesterday.
But the stock is getting hammered on expectations that were too high.
I think Ulta represents good long term value here.

Revenue was up better than 20% as comps gained 11.7%. That number is absolutely enormous and I'm not aware of any other retailer in any sector producing those kinds of gains.

And let's also keep in mind that this is on top of a 14.4% comp gain in last year's Q2 for a two-year stacked comp of 26%.


Ulta is going for just under 27 times this year's earnings and about 22 times next year's estimates.

Ulta Beauty Inc Could Be a Breathtaking Buy

ULTA stock is still strong and the company should regain its footing

By Hilary Kramer

The company operates 990 stores in 28 states, with 90% outside of malls, which therefore limits its exposure to declining traffic.


Management believes there is potential to grow their store base to 1,400-1,700, giving the company significant room for expansion.


Director Charles Heilbronn bought $24.97 million worth of stock during one of the company’s slumps in mid-October


Comparable store sales increased 10% last quarter.

THIS COSMETICS COMPANY IS SURVIVING THE 'DEATH OF RETAIL'

Today's company once again shows that retail isn't dead...

As more customers turn to e-commerce companies like Amazon (AMZN) instead of going to a brick-and-mortar store, some retailers have struggled to adapt.

The media call it "the death of retail" or the "retail apocalypse." But as longtime readers know, we think good retailers will adapt and thrive. Today's company is a perfect example...

Ulta Beauty (ULTA) is a $20 billion cosmetics and beauty chain. Its nearly 1,200 stores offer makeup, perfume, and skincare and haircare products... spanning from affordable basics to high-end luxury brands. That includes exclusive lines you can't buy from anyone else.

Ulta has also rapidly grown its online sales platform – e-commerce comparable sales rose 35% in 2018. Overall, the company's sales grew 14% to $6.7 billion last year.

As you can see, Ulta's stock is back on the rise. Shares are up more than 50% over the past year, and they recently hit new all-time highs. While weak retailers may be in trouble, it's clear that the right companies can still succeed...

Ulta Beauty is tanking on earnings, and there could be more pain before a bottom

by Nia Warfield

“Support does not come in now until $250 to $260.”

“If you look at the way Ulta has pivoted from just bricks and mortar to more of an online offering, their latest annual report would suggest that’s going to continue to drive their growth”.

“So I think within the retail sector they look fantastic because beauty is very much a recession-proof commodity.”

“It’s trading at 24 times trailing valuation for price-to-earnings versus its forward PE at 9 times,” she explained.

Ulta Beauty (ULTA) Q2 Earnings And Revenues Miss Estimates

Ulta Beauty (NASDAQ:ULTA) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.76 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.79 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.46 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.08%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this beauty products retailer would post earnings of $3.06 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.08, delivering a surprise of 0.65%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Ulta, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Miscellaneous industry, posted revenues of $1.67 billion for the quarter ended July 2019, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.57%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.49 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Ulta shares have added about 34.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 15.2%.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead.

The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.63 on $1.75 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $12.96 on $7.54 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Why Did Ulta Beauty Stock Fall after Its Q2 Results?

BY AMIT SINGH

Ulta Beauty stock fell 22% after its second-quarter earnings miss.
Management lowered its guidance due to industry-wide challenges.

Growth in the makeup category is growing at a softer rate.

Ulta Beauty emphasized skincare products to offset the weakness in the makeup category. However, skincare accounts for a smaller portion of the company’s business.

Ulta Beauty Sinks After Lowering Guidance

Ulta Beauty cites "anticipated industry-wide sales headwinds" in cosmetics for drop in comparable-store sales growth estimates.

by Brenda Bouw

The seller of cosmetics, skin and hair care products and services reported second-quarter sales increased by 12% to $1.7 billion, which was in line with expectations and compared to sales of $1.5 billion in the same quarter last year.

Comparable sales, which it said includes stores open at least 14 months and e-commerce sales, increased 6.2%. That compared to an increase of 6.5% in the second quarter last year.

Net income climbed to $161.3 million or $2.76 per share compared to $148.3 million or $2.46 a year ago. Analysts were expecting EPS of $2.80.

The company reduced its outlook for the year, "to reflect the headwinds we are currently seeing in the U.S. cosmetics market," Dillon said.

The company is forecasting comparable sales growth of approximately 4% to 6%, down from previous estimates of 6% to 7%. The estimates include e-commerce growth of 20% to 30%.

EPS is expected to be in the range of $11.86 to $12.06, down from $12.83 to $13.03 previously. The company said the update includes the impact of approximately $700 million in share repurchases and assuming a 23% effective tax rate, versus 24% previously.

The company is also cutting costs. It's forecasting capital expenditures of $340 million to $350 million for the year, down from $380 million to $400 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to be approximately $300 million, down from $315 million.

Ulta said it expects to increase total sales between 9% and 12% as compared to previous forecasts of low double-digit growth. The company said it plans to open about 80 new stores, remodel or relocate 20 others and do "refreshes" of about 270 stores. The company operated 1,213 retail stores across 50 states as of Aug. 3.
