Ulta Beauty (ULTA) earnings Q2 2025
The post Ulta Beauty (ULTA) earnings Q2 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ulta Beauty on Thursday raised its full-year forecast, after reporting growth in all major categories and topping Wall Street’s quarterly sales expectations. The beauty retailer said it expects net sales of between $12 billion and $12.1 billion, up from its previous range of $11.5 billion and $11.7 billion, representing an increase from last fiscal year’s net sales of $11.3 billion. It expects earnings per share of $23.85 to $24.30, up from its previous range of $22.65 to $23.20. It expects comparable sales, a metric that takes out one-time factors like store openings and closures, to grow between 2.5% to 3.5%, up from projections of as much as 1.5%. The company had raised its annual profit forecast and the upper end of its full year sales range in May. In the company’s news release, CEO Kecia Steelman said its outlook for the year “reflects both the strength of our year-to-date performance and our caution around how consumer demand may evolve in the second half of the year.” Shares of Ulta gained roughly 6% in extended trading, after earlier hitting a 52-week during the regular session. Here’s what the company reported for the fiscal second quarter compared with what Wall Street expected, according to LSEG: Earnings per share: $5.78. It was not immediately clear if that was comparable to the $5.08 expected by analysts. Revenue: $2.79 billion vs. $2.67 billion expected In the three-month period that ended August 2, Ulta’s net income rose to $260.88 million, or $5.78 per share, from $252.6 million, or $5.30 per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue increased from $2.55 billion in the year-ago quarter. Beauty has remained a hot category for consumers, even as they pull back or watch their spending in other discretionary categories.
