Estee Lauder is expected to face Asia travel retail pressure through 1H24, but the analyst is optimistic about the recovery prospects and the strength in demand across the rest of the business.
The company is expected to face headwinds in Asia travel retail due to issues in Korea and retailer inventory tightening in Hainan. However, the analyst believes that the company can recover over time, given historical spending patterns and incentives for Chinese to shop abroad. This, along with the underlying demand in the market for Estee Lauder's products, could potentially offset the negative impact.
