Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (OLPX) saw its stock price plummet 5.24% in pre-market trading on Friday, following the release of its mixed second-quarter 2025 financial results. The beauty company, known for its hair care products, reported better-than-expected revenue and adjusted earnings per share but also disclosed a quarterly loss, leaving investors with mixed feelings about its performance.
For the quarter ended June 30, Olaplex reported adjusted earnings of 2 cents per share, surpassing analysts' expectations of 1 cent per share. Revenue rose 2.3% year-over-year to $106.28 million, beating the Wall Street consensus of $100.30 million. However, the company also reported a quarterly loss of $7.74 million, with a reported EPS loss of 1 cent. It's worth noting that while Olaplex beat expectations, its adjusted EPS of 2 cents was lower than the 3 cents reported in the same quarter last year, indicating a decline in profitability.
Despite the mixed results, analysts maintain a cautious stance on Olaplex stock. The current average analyst rating is "hold," with 8 analysts recommending "hold" and 1 suggesting "sell" or "strong sell." Wall Street's median 12-month price target for Olaplex is $1.75, approximately 18.3% above its last closing price of $1.43. However, investor sentiment remains bearish, as the stock has already lost 18.5% year-to-date, even before this pre-market plunge. The company's ability to return to consistent profitability and reignite growth will likely be crucial in reversing this negative trend.
