Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
Investing.com - Jefferies maintained its Buy rating and $135.00 price target on e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE:ELF) stock on Tuesday. The company, currently valued at $8.1 billion, has demonstrated impressive financial health with a "GREAT" rating according to InvestingPro metrics.
The investment firm cited early YipitData results showing Rhode’s record-setting debut at Sephora, which generated over $10 million in sales within just two days.
Jefferies noted that Rhode benefited from strong in-store displays, successfully capturing consumer spending from established brands and driving market share shifts in the beauty sector.
The firm sees potential for upward estimate revisions for e.l.f. Beauty based on Rhode’s outsized success in the marketplace.
Jefferies also highlighted that e.l.f. remains positioned to gain U.S. market share as COTY pulls back on its CoverGirl brand, while easing comparisons and trade-down trends in Europe should support e.l.f.’s value positioning and international growth.
