Unlike Coty and ELF, ULTA benefits from a variety of products, strong customer loyalty, and growing digital participation.
With 44.4 million active loyalty members and fixed profits, ULTA has the basis to the winds of the weather manufacturer better than its peers. Elf is still trading in a distinguished evaluation, while Coty’s exposure to international markets adds risks.
