e.l.f. Beauty Inc.'s stock soared 7.85% in pre-market trading, following the release of its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results after the prior day's market close.
The cosmetics maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.32, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.29. Quarterly revenue rose 35% year-over-year to $449.3 million, also beating expectations of approximately $423 million. The strong performance was primarily driven by growth in both retail and e-commerce channels in the U.S. and internationally, with all five of the company's brands showing growth.
For fiscal 2027, the company issued guidance that was mixed relative to analyst forecasts. It projected adjusted EPS in the range of $3.27 to $3.32, below the consensus estimate of $3.61, while its revenue forecast of $1.84 billion to $1.87 billion was largely in line with expectations. Management noted that rising oil prices linked to geopolitical tensions could have a financial impact, but highlighted potential offsets from cost-saving programs and tariff refunds. The strong quarterly beat, however, appeared to outweigh guidance concerns in pre-market trading.
