e.l.f. Beauty Inc.'s stock soared 5.26% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results.
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 $423.1 million. The strong performance was primarily driven by growth in both retail and e-commerce channels in the U.S. and internationally.
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. However, its revenue forecast of $1.84 billion to $1.87 billion was largely in line with expectations. Management also 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.
