How to Read This Chart

This chart tracks the historical stock price of elf Beauty over time.

Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.

Comparing elf Beauty's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures

ⓘ

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales elf Beauty generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue elf Beauty retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare elf Beauty's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares elf Beauty has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against elf Beauty's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

elf Beauty stock margins

The elf Beauty margin analysis displays the gross margin, EBIT margin, as well as the profit margin of elf Beauty. The EBIT margin (EBIT/sales) indicates the percentage of sales that remains as operating profit. The profit margin shows the percentage of sales that remains for elf Beauty.

The company is known for its affordable yet quality beauty products, which resonate well with its target audience. This allows e.l.f. to attract and retain customers. Secondly, e.l.f. Beauty Inc benefits from a diverse portfolio of products. The company offers a wide range of cosmetic items, including makeup, skincare, and tools. This variety helps e.l.f. cater to different customer preferences and expand its customer base. Thirdly, e.l.f. Beauty Inc has a strong online presence and a well-established e-commerce platform. This enables the company to reach a global audience, increase its market share, and drive online sales growth. Lastly, e.l.f.

This commitment to cruelty-free and vegan products can be seen as a unique selling point, differentiating e.l.f. from its competitors.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, e.l.f. Beauty Inc also faces certain weaknesses. One notable weakness is its limited physical presence. While the company operates some standalone stores and has partnerships with select retailers, its physical store network is relatively smaller compared to some competitors. This may limit its reach to customers who prefer in-person shopping experiences. Another weakness is e.l.f.'s dependency on suppliers and third-party manufacturers. Any disruptions in the supply chain or difficulties with these partners could negatively impact the company's ability to deliver products on time and maintain quality standards. Additionally, e.l.f. Beauty Inc faces intense competition in the beauty industry. There are numerous established and emerging brands that directly compete with e.l.f. in terms of price, quality, and target audience. This competitive landscape puts pressure on e.l.f. to continuously innovate and differentiate its products. Lastly, the company may face challenges in expanding its international presence due to varying regulations and cultural preferences in different markets.

Opportunities

e.l.f. Beauty Inc has several opportunities for growth and expansion. Firstly, the global beauty industry is projected to continue growing steadily. This presents an opportunity for e.l.f. to capture a larger market share by attracting new customers and increasing sales both domestically and internationally. Secondly, the increasing demand for natural and clean beauty products presents an opportunity for e.l.f. to further emphasize and expand its offerings in this segment. By developing and promoting more clean beauty products, e.l.f. can position itself as a leader in this growing market. Thirdly, collaborations and partnerships with influencers, celebrities, and other brands can enhance e.l.f.'s brand visibility and reach. By leveraging the influence of popular personalities, e.l.f. can effectively market its products to a wider audience and tap into new customer segments. Lastly, e.l.f. Beauty Inc can explore strategic acquisitions or product line extensions to diversify its portfolio and cater to different customer needs and preferences.

Threats

e.l.f. Beauty Inc faces certain threats that could potentially affect its business. Firstly, the beauty industry is highly sensitive to changing trends and consumer preferences. Failure to identify and adapt to these trends in a timely manner could result in decreased demand for e.l.f.'s products and loss of market share. Secondly, counterfeit products pose a threat to e.l.f.'s brand reputation and customer trust. As a popular and affordable brand, e.l.f. may be susceptible to counterfeiters trying to imitate its products. This can impact sales and erode customer confidence. Thirdly, economic downturns or recessions can also impact consumer spending on cosmetics and beauty products. During periods of economic uncertainty, consumers may prioritize essential items over discretionary purchases, which could negatively impact e.l.f.'s sales. Lastly, regulatory changes related to ingredient safety, packaging, and labeling requirements can pose challenges to e.l.f. Beauty Inc. Adapting to evolving regulations and ensuring compliance can be costly and time-consuming.

Fair Value Estimate

ⓘ

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Annual Return

ⓘ

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.

elf Beauty shares outstanding

The number of shares of elf Beauty was 60.19 M in 2025. This indicates how many shares elf Beauty is divided into. Since shareholders are the owners of a company, each share represents a small portion of the company's ownership.
