L’Oréal posted a strong third quarter, with adjusted like-for-like sales growth of 7.7%, ahead of the global beauty market's roughly 5% growth and an acceleration from 6.5% in the first half. Shares traded nearly 6% higher on Oct. 23.
With its unmatched scale, L’Oréal outspends peers on marketing and R&D, which keeps brands visible and innovation ahead of smaller rivals.
Mass-market beauty has seen intensifying competition over the last decade, with a plethora of indie brands capturing consumer spending. This could dent L’Oréal’s competitive position over time.
