The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (EL) is a leading global beauty and cosmetics company, founded in 1946, that develops, manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of high-end skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care brands across more than 150 countries, with its headquarters in New York City. Its market cap is around $34.2 billion. The Estée Lauder’s Q1 2026 earnings release is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 30, before the market opens.
Ahead of this event, analysts expect this cosmetics giant to report a profit of $0.14 per share, unchanged from the year-ago quarter value. On the bright side, the company has consistently beaten Wall Street’s earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters, which is admirable.
