$ELF (+1,94 %) - Because it also reflects my opinion ✌️
Goldman Sachs with buy recommendation for $ELF (+1,94 %) Target price USD 165; "One of the fastest growing and most disruptive players in the beauty space"
"We view ELF as one of the fastest growing and most disruptive players in the beauty space. The company's continued market share gains and growth momentum stand in sharp contrast to the slowing trends in the beauty category, particularly among mass retailers such as $TGT (+0,09 %) , $WMT (+0,28 %) and $ULTA (+0 %)
As such, we expect the company to continue to deliver healthy sales growth driven by a disciplined, disruptive innovation strategy and breakthrough marketing techniques that resonate well with core Generation Z consumers. We see further upside internationally and believe the importance of this opportunity is underestimated. Our analysis suggests that one point of market share gain in the seven focus markets of $ELF (+1,94 %) could increase ELF's sales growth by 4 percentage points.
In addition, we expect ELF's steady increase in EBITDA margin to translate into an EBITDA CAGR of over 20% (FY24-28), which should comfortably support EPS growth in the low to mid-20s. Finally, we believe that the current valuation of $ELF (+1,94 %) is attractive given its strong fundamentals, which should lead to a further re-rating from current levels."
