In other recent news, Olaplex Holdings Inc. reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a mixed performance. The company exceeded revenue expectations with $106.3 million, surpassing the anticipated $100.64 million by 5.6%. However, Olaplex fell short on earnings per share (EPS), posting -$0.0048 against a forecasted $0.0128, marking a significant surprise of -137.5%. Despite the EPS miss, this period marked Olaplex’s first positive sales growth in nine quarters, with a 2.3% increase year-over-year. Canaccord Genuity responded by lowering its price target for Olaplex from $2.00 to $1.50, citing margin pressure, but maintained a Hold rating on the stock. The revenue results exceeded both Canaccord’s and Wall Street’s expectations, which had projected sales declines of 2.3% and 3.5%, respectively. These developments indicate a cautiously positive sentiment among investors, reflected by a slight rise in pre-market trading.
