  • E.l.f. Beauty Stock Down 40%: A Buying Opportunity Amid Growth and Expansion
    January 25, 2026, 4:54 AM EST. E.l.f. Beauty's stock has dropped about 40% from recent highs but shows a strong long-term outlook.

Its acquisition of premium skincare brand Rhode, founded by Hailey Bieber, positions e.l.f. for new growth opportunities, including expansion into high-end stores like Sephora. Despite revenue growth stalling due to headwinds like tariffs and inventory issues, e.l.f. reports solid underlying brand consumption, especially in U.S. and international markets.
