Ulta Beauty Stock Is Down Today. Now Could Be a Good Time to Buy.
Ulta Beauty shares declined 4.18% following its Q2 earnings report, despite beating Wall Street expectations with 13.3% EPS growth to $6.55 and 8.9% net sales growth to $3 billion. The company raised full-year guidance for net sales growth (6.7%-7.2%) and operating income growth (8.3%-9.3%), and plans a $1 billion share buyback program. Analysts noted muted traffic growth and higher promotional activity as minor concerns, but the overall report was solid.
