Estée Lauder sets fiscal 2030 targets and raises its fiscal 2027 outlook

Positive Impact 4 of 5 guidance

At a Shanghai investor event on November 4, 2026, Estée Lauder announced a fiscal 2030 ambition of mid-single-digit organic sales growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth each year through fiscal 2030, with a 16.5%-18.5% adjusted operating margin in fiscal 2030. The accompanying presentation also raised the fiscal 2027 outlook, which matters to shareholders because it signals higher expected profitability in the near term, though the fiscal 2030 figures are unaudited long-term targets.

Key points

  • Fiscal 2030 ambition: mid-single-digit organic net sales growth annually and double-digit adjusted diluted EPS growth through fiscal 2030, with an adjusted operating margin of 16.5%-18.5% in fiscal 2030
  • Raised fiscal 2027 outlook: adjusted operating margin of 12.9%-13.7% (up from 12.7%-13.5%) and adjusted diluted EPS growth of 28%-38% (up from 24%-34%)
  • Reported sales growth outlook raised to 5.0%-6.5% (from 3%-5%); restructuring charges of approximately $40 million to $50 million, before taxes, expected in fiscal 2028
