Ulta Beauty Stock (ULTA) Maintains Bold Comeback Following Q1 Beat
After a rocky couple of years, Ulta Beauty (ULTA) is staging a fierce comeback, with its stock surging and its investment case looking increasingly better by the quarter. Evidently, the company's Q1 results posted just last week lit a spark under the stock, showcasing robust comparable sales growth, strategic wins, and an aggressive share buyback program. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Despite its recent rally, I believe Ulta Beauty still offers attractive value, making it a compelling choice for long-term investors. Here's why I remain bullish on the stock. Walking into an Ulta store these days feels like stepping into a bustling beauty bazaar, and the numbers certainly back up that vibe. In Q1, Ulta reported a 2.9% increase in comparable sales, blowing past Wall Street's modest expectations of just 0.2% growth. This uptick, driven by a 2.3% rise in average ticket size and a 0.6% increase in transactions, shows Ulta is pulling customers back in a big way, even in the face of the brutal competition facing the beauty industry these days. Under new CEO Kecia Steelman, the company's 'Ulta Beauty Unleashed' plan is resonating, with fresh promotions and a beefed-up loyalty program, now boasting a record 44.6 million members and keeping shoppers hooked. One could argue that this is a one-quarter fluke. However, Ulta's focus on exclusive products and in-store experiences, like their expanded Target shop-in-shops, is undeniably driving traffic. There is no reason to think that this trend will fade soon, especially since Ulta is coming off some difficult quarters (hence the stock's underperformance in 2024), and the recent numbers indicate that a proper rebound has now been established. To be frank, the company's ability to outpace estimates in such a tough retail environment (particularly competition-wise) signals a consumer base that's still willing to splurge on beauty, even during a period of economic uncertainty. One of the more interesting takeaways from Ulta's report is that the company isn't solely relying on its core business to drive growth, but is instead exploring new opportunities. During the earnings call, executives talked about plans to expand into Mexico and the Middle East this year. They've already opened six new stores this quarter, bringing their total to 1,451, after adding 100 Ulta Beauty stores at Target locations last year. Interestingly, these moves don't necessarily seem to be about expanding square footage (as is the case with retailers), but rather about making Ulta a go-to destination for beauty lovers everywhere. Then there's the loyalty program, which grew 3% last year to the 44.6 million mark. It's a sticky ecosystem that keeps customers coming back, and Ulta is doubling down with digital upgrades and personalized marketing. When you pair these efforts with exclusive brand launches, you can see how Ulta can claw back market share from competitors like Sephora and Amazon, even as those giants loom large. Ulta has a tremendous track record of share repurchases. It has essentially been using the majority of its free cash flow over the years to repurchase as many shares as possible. For context, over the past decade, Ulta has reduced its share count by 30%. In Q1, this trend endured, with Ulta repurchasing $249.5 million worth of stock. With $2.7 billion still available under their $3 billion program, Ulta is signaling confidence in its future and the stock's present valuation. I love seeing a company bet on itself like this. Management is like they're saying, 'We know we're undervalued, and we're not afraid to prove it.' Regarding Ulta's valuation, even after the stock's post-earnings rebound, it's still trading at just 20x this year's expected EPS. Considering that sales are on the rebound, margins are stabilizing, and buybacks are continually reducing the share count, EPS growth is expected to pick up in the coming years. In fact, repurchasing shares at today's valuation is likely to prove exceptionally accretive in the long term. Therefore, I believe that the current multiple undervalues Ulta's medium-term prospects. Despite the stock's recent rebound, Wall Street remains optimistic about Ulta. The stock still features a Moderate Buy consensus rating, with 12 analysts currently bullish, 12 neutral, and just one bearish. Now, Ulta's average stock forecast of $470.04 indicates marginal downside potential over the coming twelve months. Ulta Beauty appears to be regaining its momentum. The company delivered strong comparable sales, executed key strategic initiatives, and continues to return value to shareholders through a robust buyback program. Trading at roughly 20 times earnings, Ulta offers a compelling blend of value and growth—an uncommon combination in the often-volatile retail sector. With a meaningful margin of safety and solid upside potential, the stock presents a highly attractive investment opportunity at current levels.

Stock Movers: Netflix, Meta, CrowdStrike
On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Katie Greifeld, David Gura and Emily Graffeo. - Netflix (NFLX) shares rose after UBS raises its prices target on the streaming-video company to among the highest on Wall Street. UBS analyst John Hodulik says, "'Secular trends and competitive dynamics remain supportive of Netflix's ability to drive stronger monetization and operating leverage." - Meta (META) shares are still riding high after it reached its big deal to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy. The parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp signed a 20-year contract to buy 1,121 megawatts from the Clinton plant starting in mid-2027, when a state subsidy expires, according to a statement Tuesday. Constellation, the biggest US nuclear operator, and Meta didn't provide financial details. Under the deal, Constellation will invest in boosting Clinton's output. The company is also considering plans to build another reactor at Clinton, which already has federal approval for a second unit. The Meta deal marks a significant turnaround for the Clinton plant, which has enough to power about 1 million homes. Then-owner Exelon Corp. had threatened to close the site in 2017 as nuclear operators around the US struggled to compete with cheap natural gas and renewables. The company changed course after Illinois approved a 10-year subsidy. - CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares fell after the cybersecurity company projected revenue for the current period that trailed estimates, in its first financial update since announcing it would cut about 5% of its global workforce. Sales for the second quarter will be as much as $1.15 billion, the Austin-based company said in a statement Tuesday, missing the average analyst estimate of $1.16 billion. In May, CrowdStrike announced that it would cut about 500 employees as it works toward a goal of generating $10 billion in annual recurring revenue. Its shares dropped at the time as Wall Street questioned whether the company's move came from a place of weakness or strength. The firm said in a corporate filing at the time that it expected $36 million to $53 million in charges from the job cuts, with most of that coming from paying severance, employee benefits and related costs.

Netflix Soars as UBS Sees Cash Flow Surge
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) surged 1.34% to a record?high $1,234 today after UBS raised its price target from $1,150 to $1,450 and reiterated a Buy rating. UBS analyst John Hodulik cites accelerating viewer engagementQ2 viewing hours for Netflix's top 10 titles are up 10% year?over?year, versus 5% growth last quarteras evidence that Netflix is drawing viewers away from traditional TV. This increased consumption underpins improved monetization from both new and existing subscribers while enhancing operational leverage. Financial discipline also shines through: Netflix is growing content spending more slowly than revenue, and its share buyback program is ramping up. As a result, UBS forecasts free cash flow of roughly $20 per share in 2025, rising to $30 in 2026 and $40 in 2027figures that underscore robust cash generation potential. Investors should care because Netflix's ability to control costs while boosting engagement and cash flow suggests the stock could continue its run, especially as legacy TV networks struggle to retain audiences.
