Why Estée Lauder Stock Tipped Higher on Thursday
The cosmetics company is bringing back a seasoned executive. She most recently served as CEO at two peer businesses. 10 stocks we like better than Estée Lauder Companies › A new executive hire at Estée Lauder Companies (NYSE: EL) was the main news item driving the company's stock higher on the penultimate trading day of the week. Thursday saw the storied cosmetics maker's share price rise by over 3%, a figure that was more than high enough to beat the S&P 500 index's 0.3% increase. That morning, Estée Lauder announced that it had hired Lisa Sequino to be the president of its makeup brand cluster. Sequino is quite the experienced cosmetics industry executive, having most recently served as CEO and board member of industry company Supergoop! Prior to that, she served in both capacities for JLo Beauty & Lifestyle companies, the beauty brand founded by actor Jennifer Lopez. The incoming executive will be a familiar figure to some in Estée Lauder's offices. Before her two CEO stints, she was with the company for over nine years, serving in a variety of high-level roles. The most recent of these was senior vice president of North American Brands. Before that stretch, she worked for eight years at consumer goods titan Procter & Gamble as a cosmetics executive. In Estée Lauder's press release touting Sequino's return, Chief Brand Officer Jane Hertzmark Hudis said "Her unique combination of strategic and conceptual thinking, entrepreneurial mindset and operational excellence makes her exceptionally well-suited to fast track our makeup cluster into its next phase of growth." Sequino certainly feels like quite the "get" for Estée Lauder, not least because of her recent experience as the leader of two brands familiar to industry watchers. The company was built on its success with makeup products, and as such they'll be important for its future too.

Why HP Stock Sagged by 11% This Week
The company published its fiscal second-quarter earnings. It disappointed investors with an earnings miss and lowered full-year guidance. 10 stocks we like better than HP › The combination of an earnings miss and disappointing guidance put the hurt on veteran tech stock HP (NYSE: HPQ) this week. Over the past five trading days the company's share price withered by 11%, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Just after market close on Wednesday, HP published figures from its fiscal second quarter of 2025, revealing that its net revenue was $13.2 billion. That was 3% higher than in the same period of fiscal 2024. The dynamic was markedly different on the bottom line, as non-GAAP (adjusted) net income sank to $678 million ($0.71 per share) from the year-ago profit of $812 million. Analysts weren't expecting such a steep drop in profitability; on average, they were modeling adjusted net income of $0.79 per share. On the plus side, the company beat the pundit consensus of under $13.1 billion for net revenue. In the earnings release, HP quoted CEO Enrique Lores as saying that during the quarter, the company had "delivered solid revenue growth, led by strong commercial performance in personal systems and continued momentum behind our future-of-work strategy." HP is bracing for impact on tariffs, which affect its operations because many of its components are sourced abroad. It lowered its guidance for the entirety of the fiscal year, setting the forecast for adjusted per-share earnings at $3.00 to $3.30. That's down considerably from its previous estimate of $3.45 to $3.75. Free cash flow should come in at $2.6 billion to $3 billion, meanwhile. The PC market hasn't been lively for years, and given the enduring popularity of mobile devices, I don't expect this to change. That market will also be affected by the tariff war if it drags on. None of this makes me confident about HP stock.

Why 908 Devices Stock Rocketed More Than 18% Higher This Week
The specialty device maker announced it had delivered its devices to an important European customer. The Romanian Customs Authority has deployed 27 MX908 detection devices. 10 stocks we like better than 908 Devices › A deal agreed in a far-off country was the spark that ignited chemical analysis device maker 908 Devices (NASDAQ: MASS) this week. The company's stock burned hot, finishing the period over 18% higher in price, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Before market open on Wednesday, 908 Devices announced -- no doubt happily -- that the Romanian Customs Authority has deployed 27 of the company's MX908 devices throughout its organization. These are handheld machines that pack sophisticated chemical analysis capabilities; the company claims they can identify a range of chemical substances in a matter of seconds. According to 908 Devices, this gives users the ability to detect even trace amounts of compounds on surfaces such as vehicle exteriors and containers. The company said it delivered all 27 MX908s to the central European country earlier this year. Its deal was done through a program headed by the European Union, of which Romania is a member country. That program, Customs Control Equipment, aims to assist E.U. nations in obtaining the latest, state-of-the-art border control assets. In its press release touting the deal, 908 Devices quoted CEO Kevin Knopp as saying, "The Romanian Customs Authority has taken a proactive step to arm its officers with fast, trace chemical identification, and we are committed to supporting their efforts to ensure enhanced safety and security at the border." One piece of information missing in 908 Devices' press release was the financial particulars of the Romania deal. It's hard to gauge the true impact of such an arrangement on the fundamentals without getting some sense of how large it is in terms of revenue and/or profitability. Regardless, this is undoubtedly a win for the company; not only will it bring in revenue, but transacting with a high-level governmental authority can only enhance its reputation and (hopefully) draw in new clients. Investors were right to cheer this news.

Why Dividend King Nordson's Stock Popped This Week
The industrial conglomerate notched convincing top- and bottom-line beats in its latest quarter. It posted growth in several key divisions during the period. 10 stocks we like better than Nordson › Dividend King Nordson (NASDAQ: NDSN) was looking impressively regal on the stock market over the past few days, thanks largely to quarterly results that satisfied investors. With that tailwind at its back, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the diversified industrial conglomerate's shares finished the week almost 10% higher in price. Nordson's second quarter of fiscal 2025 earnings release, published following market close on Wednesday, showed that the company's total sales for the period were $683 million, an improvement over the $651 million it booked in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. They also topped the analyst consensus estimate of slightly under $673 million. As for profitability, Nordson netted a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted income of $138 million, or $2.42 per share. That was a small increase over the $135 million it posted in the same period the previous year. Again, the figure beat the average pundit projection, in this case $2.36. Management attributed the relatively higher numbers to a variety of factors, not least were robust sales in several key divisions, including electronic systems and precision agriculture. A 5% rise in order backlog also boosted results. Nordson proffered guidance for its current (third) quarter, estimating that it will earn $710 million to $750 million across the period. On the bottom line, adjusted earnings should come in at $2.55 to $2.75 per share. On average, analysts tracking the stock are modeling a top line of barely over $724 million, and adjusted profitability of $2.63 per share. With Nordson, it seems to be a case of "steady as she goes," as the key divisions of the company are performing well, major fundamentals continue to grow, and the company keeps throwing off cash to help fund its constantly rising dividend. It feels like a good and reliable investment to me.
