Positive Points

Beiersdorf AG (BDRFF) achieved a 2.3% organic sales growth in the consumer segment, despite a challenging prior year comparison. The Derma brands, Eucerin and Aquaphor, reported strong double-digit organic sales growth of 11.4%, driven by successful innovations and market expansions. The healthcare business, including Hansaplast and Elastoplast, experienced a 10.8% sales growth, supported by new product launches. Tesa division recorded an impressive 10.7% organic sales growth, bolstered by a strong performance in the electronics segment. The company is strategically repositioning in China, focusing on skincare and digital channels, setting the foundation for future growth.

Negative Points

Sales of La Prairie declined by 17.5% due to challenges in China and the travel retail market, necessitating destocking activities. The repositioning efforts in China negatively impacted NIVEA's results, contributing to a slower growth rate in the region. The automotive market continues to pose challenges for Tesa, with recent tariff developments adding further complications. The consumer business in the Africa, Asia, Australia region was significantly affected by repositioning measures in China, resulting in lower growth. Beiersdorf AG (BDRFF) faces uncertainties in the global economy, including geopolitical tensions and tariff policies, which could impact consumer confidence and business performance.

Q & A Highlights

Q: How are US tariffs affecting Beiersdorf, and what is the outlook for La Prairie's growth? A: Vincent Warnery, CEO, explained that Beiersdorf is minimally impacted by US tariffs as two-thirds of their US sales are produced in the US or Mexico, which is covered by free trade agreements. Regarding La Prairie, the company expects better performance in Q3 and Q4, following destocking efforts in Q1 and new product launches. E-commerce growth, particularly in China, is also expected to support La Prairie's recovery.

Story Continues

Q: Can you elaborate on the expected growth for Beiersdorf in 2025, especially considering the challenges in China and travel retail? A: Vincent Warnery stated that Beiersdorf expects organic sales growth in the consumer segment to be between 4% and 6% for 2025. The strategic refocus in China will continue to affect sales, but growth is expected to accelerate in the second half of the year. The company is optimistic about its innovation pipeline and expansion into new markets.

Q: What is the impact of the repositioning in China on Beiersdorf's performance, and how is it expected to change in the coming quarters? A: Vincent Warnery noted that the repositioning in China has negatively impacted Q1 results, but improvements are expected in Q2 and beyond. The focus is on optimizing skincare and expanding digital channels. The launch of Thiamidol in China in 2026 is anticipated to drive future growth.

Q: How is Beiersdorf addressing market share challenges in Europe, particularly for NIVEA? A: Vincent Warnery acknowledged a slight market share loss for NIVEA in Europe due to competition from private labels and local brands. The company is focusing on maintaining NIVEA's value-for-money positioning and leveraging digital marketing and influencer partnerships to counteract these challenges.

Q: What are the expectations for Beiersdorf's EBIT margin in 2025, and how will investments impact this? A: Astrid Hermann, CFO, stated that Beiersdorf expects the EBIT margin to be 50 basis points above last year's level for the consumer segment. The company is making significant investments in innovation and market expansion, with a stronger EBIT profile anticipated in the second half of the year.

16.04.25 06:46:07 Investing in Beiersdorf (ETR:BEI) three years ago would have delivered you a 29% gain
Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BEI) shareholders have seen the share price descend 11% over the month. But over three years, the returns would have left most investors smiling After all, the share price is up a market-beating 27% in that time.

With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.

This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

During three years of share price growth, Beiersdorf achieved compound earnings per share growth of 13% per year. The average annual share price increase of 8% is actually lower than the EPS growth. So it seems investors have become more cautious about the company, over time.

The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).XTRA:BEI Earnings Per Share Growth April 16th 2025

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 11% in the last year, Beiersdorf shareholders lost 10% (even including dividends). However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 5% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. Is Beiersdorf cheap compared to other companies?

15.04.25 06:09:11 Nivea-maker Beiersdorf posts marginal first-quarter sales beat
(Reuters) -German consumer goods maker Beiersdorf, the first European large-cap global health and personal care company to report first-quarter results, on Tuesday posted group sales marginally ahead of market expectations.

Analysts at Bernstein said the results were "surprisingly robust," as the company's sales rose 3.6% organically to 2.69 billion euros ($3.05 billion), compared to analysts' expectations of 2.65 billion euros as per data compiled by LSEG.

Sales of its derma division brands jumped 11.4%, led by emerging markets and North America.

Of the group's products sold in the U.S., 65% are made outside the country, primarily in Mexico, which CEO Vincent Warnery in a call stressed was covered by free trade agreements, meaning only a small part of European imports would be subject to tariffs.

Asked whether the company might consider moving more production to the U.S., finance chief Astrid Hermann said it was difficult to make decisions about production in an uncertain environment.

"In the very short term, to make changes there, I don't think makes sense," Hermann said.

Sales of Nivea, the company's flagship skin and body care brand, grew 2.5% organically, against a tough basis for comparison due to high sales in the first quarter of 2024 and the company's measures to clean up its portfolio in China.

On the other hand, the company reported a 17.5% drop in sales of luxury brand La Prairie, due to a difficult market environment in China.

Speaking about consumer sentiment in China, Warnery said he saw "no big evolution of the consumer feeling, which means it's not better, but it's not worse."

02.04.25 06:10:57 Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft's (ETR:BEI) Fundamentals Look Pretty Strong: Could The Market Be Wrong About The Stock?
It is hard to get excited after looking at Beiersdorf's (ETR:BEI) recent performance, when its stock has declined 10% over the past month. However, stock prices are usually driven by a company’s financial performance over the long term, which in this case looks quite promising. Specifically, we decided to study Beiersdorf's ROE in this article.

Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. Put another way, it reveals the company's success at turning shareholder investments into profits.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

How Is ROE Calculated?

The formula for ROE is:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Beiersdorf is:

11% = €928m ÷ €8.5b (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024).

The 'return' is the yearly profit. Another way to think of that is that for every €1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn €0.11 in profit.

View our latest analysis for Beiersdorf

What Is The Relationship Between ROE And Earnings Growth?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company’s earnings growth potential. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don’t share these attributes.

Beiersdorf's Earnings Growth And 11% ROE

To start with, Beiersdorf's ROE looks acceptable. Even when compared to the industry average of 12% the company's ROE looks quite decent. This probably goes some way in explaining Beiersdorf's moderate 6.6% growth over the past five years amongst other factors.

We then performed a comparison between Beiersdorf's net income growth with the industry, which revealed that the company's growth is similar to the average industry growth of 6.9% in the same 5-year period.XTRA:BEI Past Earnings Growth April 2nd 2025

Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. What is BEI worth today?

Is Beiersdorf Using Its Retained Earnings Effectively?

Beiersdorf has a low three-year median payout ratio of 23%, meaning that the company retains the remaining 77% of its profits. This suggests that the management is reinvesting most of the profits to grow the business.

Besides, Beiersdorf has been paying dividends for at least ten years or more. This shows that the company is committed to sharing profits with its shareholders. Upon studying the latest analysts' consensus data, we found that the company is expected to keep paying out approximately 19% of its profits over the next three years. As a result, Beiersdorf's ROE is not expected to change by much either, which we inferred from the analyst estimate of 12% for future ROE.

Summary

On the whole, we feel that Beiersdorf's performance has been quite good. Particularly, we like that the company is reinvesting heavily into its business, and at a high rate of return. Unsurprisingly, this has led to an impressive earnings growth. Having said that, looking at the current analyst estimates, we found that the company's earnings are expected to gain momentum.

25.03.25 16:23:13 Berenberg lists top beauty stocks amid sector’s slower growth outlook
Investing.com -- Berenberg expects the global beauty market to face slower growth in 2025, with the pace likely to fall short of L'Oréal’s projections. Amid this challenging backdrop Berenberg listed its top performers that include Beiersdorf (ETR:BEIG), Coty (NYSE:COTY), Galderma, and Unilever (LON:ULVR).

Growth in developed markets is expected to cool, while China is likely to stabilize in the first half of the year before seeing a modest recovery later.

Emerging markets, where companies are increasing investments, are expected to grow at a stronger pace.

Berenberg upgraded Coty to Buy, expecting its upcoming investor day in June 2025 to serve as a catalyst for renewed interest.

The firm expects Coty to lay out its strategy to drive sales growth, improve margins, and return more cash to shareholders.

Puig was initiated at Hold due to concerns about its operational flexibility, despite its strength in the prestige segment.

L’Oreal SA (EPA:OREP) was downgraded to Hold, with Berenberg noting that rising competition in mass beauty and dermatological segments could limit its market outperformance in 2025.

Beiersdorf remains Berenberg’s top pick, with the firm highlighting its promising pipeline of innovative products and ongoing geographic expansion.

Beiersdorf is well-positioned to outperform in a more competitive environment, thanks to its strong product launches and consistent execution.

Beyond 2025, Berenberg sees risks emerging from younger, more digitally engaged consumers who are less loyal to traditional brands.

By 2035, these younger cohorts, Generation Z, Alpha, and Beta, will make up half of the global workforce. While they are highly engaged with beauty products, their willingness to switch brands poses challenges for established companies, raising concerns about growth stability and brand loyalty.

Another shift reshaping the industry is the rise of beauty technology.

Consumers are increasingly turning to at-home beauty tech, non-invasive medispa treatments, and advanced procedures like laser and injectables.

Galderma is seen as a key beneficiary due to its expertise in injectable aesthetics, while dermatological skincare is also expected to gain from this trend. However, traditional beauty categories, especially prestige products, may face longer-term risks as consumers adopt these new technologies.

Berenberg expects the global beauty market to grow by 3.7% in 2025, below L'Oréal’s management forecast of 4-4.5%.

24.03.25 13:58:08 L’Oréal and other beauty giants are pleading with the EU to exclude American cosmetics from its tariff war
A group of beauty companies, including industry leader L’Oréal, hope the European Union will exclude American cosmetic goods when it rolls out extensive tariffs next month.

L’Oréal, the Paris-based company that owns brands like Lancôme, Maybelline, and Cera Ve, has a large presence in the U.S.—the North American region took in €11.8 billion in sales last year.

However, new tariffs could hamper beauty-related trade significantly, as the region has a significant upper hand. In France alone, beauty imports from the U.S. amount to $500 million, while exports are worth roughly €2.5 billion, according to an industry number cited by Reuters.

“If there is this tit-for-tat thing on beauty, it’s going to penalize Europe much more than American businesses and companies,” L’Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus told the Financial Times. He added that he urged the officials he met in Brussels last week to look at the balance of trade before subjecting entire categories to the upcoming tariff.

L’Oréal’s Hieronimus was joined by 15 other beauty executives who warned the EU that its tariff countermeasures could hurt their operations.

“My only ask to the people I’ve met [in Brussels] is to say: look at the balance of trade and don’t put a red flag on a category where we have more to lose than to win,” he said.

When U.S. President Donald Trump said he would impose a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, the EU published a 99-page list of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods earlier in March. This includes shampoos, perfumes, aftershaves, sunscreens, and more.

Beauty and personal care products contribute €180 billion to the bloc’s GDP and employ 2 million people, according to Oxford Economics. Germany and France are the region’s biggest cosmetics markets—and are home to Beiersdorf and L’Oréal, respectively.

Beauty comes at a cost

Two-thirds of Hamburg-based Beiersdorf’s American business comes from beauty products made outside the U.S., primarily in Mexico. The company is navigating through what tariffs could mean while continuing to serve the burgeoning U.S. market, including increasing inventories and hiking prices.

The U.S. market has been especially attractive for beauty companies amid a luxury slowdown. The country has emerged as a bright spot as consumer spending has picked up.

Europe is a heavyweight in cosmetics in its own right. Still, small and medium-size U.S. companies benefit from exporting to the region due to low import tariffs on personal care goods.

Any level of tariffs under the Trump administration was bound to stress the beauty industry’s global supply chain. Establishing production from scratch for some of the more specialized raw materials used in making cosmetics can be tricky—and expensive.

Story Continues

When it was just a case of U.S. imposing tariffs, L’Oréal’s Hieronimus wasn’t too concerned as many of its beauty products are made within the country.

It does, however, export its fragrances from Europe.

Beiersdorf’s CEO Vincent Warnery told the FT that if the EU didn’t ease how its tariffs applied to American cosmetics, it would be akin to “shooting ourselves in the foot.”

“We’ll raise prices in the U.S., if needed, which will hurt consumers in the US and Canada and will also hurt our market share… So leave us out of it, enjoy what we bring to the economy, and don’t start a fire where there is no need,” he added.

The tariffs will take effect on April 13, but the EU is still soliciting views from businesses impacted by the measures.

Representatives at L’Oréal, Beiersdorf, and the EU didn’t immediately return Fortune’s requests for comment.

19.03.25 05:02:43 We Ran A Stock Scan For Earnings Growth And Beiersdorf (ETR:BEI) Passed With Ease
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Unfortunately, these high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson. While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away.

If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Beiersdorf (ETR:BEI). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it.

View our latest analysis for Beiersdorf

How Fast Is Beiersdorf Growing?

If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. Beiersdorf managed to grow EPS by 13% per year, over three years. That growth rate is fairly good, assuming the company can keep it up.

Top-line growth is a great indicator that growth is sustainable, and combined with a high earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin, it's a great way for a company to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. Beiersdorf maintained stable EBIT margins over the last year, all while growing revenue 4.3% to €9.9b. That's a real positive.

Are Beiersdorf Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?

Prior to investment, it's always a good idea to check that the management team is paid reasonably. Pay levels around or below the median, can be a sign that shareholder interests are well considered. The median total compensation for CEOs of companies similar in size to Beiersdorf, with market caps over €7.3b, is around €4.8m.

The Beiersdorf CEO received €4.1m in compensation for the year ending December 2024. That comes in below the average for similar sized companies and seems pretty reasonable. CEO remuneration levels are not the most important metric for investors, but when the pay is modest, that does support enhanced alignment between the CEO and the ordinary shareholders. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.

Does Beiersdorf Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?

As previously touched on, Beiersdorf is a growing business, which is encouraging. To add to this, the modest CEO compensation should tell investors that the directors have an active interest in delivering the best for shareholders. All things considered, Beiersdorf is definitely worth taking a deeper dive into. Once you've identified a business you like, the next step is to consider what you think it's worth.

02.03.25 06:21:21 Beiersdorf (ETR:BEI) Has Affirmed Its Dividend Of €1.00
Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BEI) has announced that it will pay a dividend of €1.00 per share on the 24th of April. This means the annual payment will be 0.8% of the current stock price, which is lower than the industry average.

Check out our latest analysis for Beiersdorf

Beiersdorf's Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings

If it is predictable over a long period, even low dividend yields can be attractive. Before making this announcement, Beiersdorf was easily earning enough to cover the dividend. This means that most of what the business earns is being used to help it grow.

Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 39.6% over the next year. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 18% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.XTRA:BEI Historic Dividend March 2nd 2025

Beiersdorf Has A Solid Track Record

The company has been paying a dividend for a long time, and it has been quite stable which gives us confidence in the future dividend potential. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from €0.70 total annually to €1.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.6% a year over that time. While the consistency in the dividend payments is impressive, we think the relatively slow rate of growth is less attractive.

We Could See Beiersdorf's Dividend Growing

Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. It's encouraging to see that Beiersdorf has been growing its earnings per share at 5.2% a year over the past five years. With a decent amount of growth and a low payout ratio, we think this bodes well for Beiersdorf's prospects of growing its dividend payments in the future.

Beiersdorf Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock

Overall, we think that this is a great income investment, and we think that maintaining the dividend this year may have been a conservative choice. Distributions are quite easily covered by earnings, which are also being converted to cash flows. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.

Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance. Companies that are growing earnings tend to be the best dividend stocks over the long term.
