e.l.f. Beauty Inc. (No. 350)
Q3 2026 net sales: E.l.f. Beauty Inc. reported a net sales increase of 37.8% year over year to $489.51 million in its fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025. The company primarily attributed growth to its retailer and ecommerce channels, both in the U.S. and internationally.
“Our Q3 results, which included 130 basis points of market share gains for our namesake e.l.f. Cosmetics brand and a record-breaking launch of rhode in Sephora in the U.K., are a continuation of the consistent, category-leading growth we’ve delivered over the past 28 quarters,” said Tarang Amin, chairman and CEO at e.l.f. Beauty. “Our value proposition, powerhouse innovation and disruptive marketing engine continue to fuel our brands.”
Mandy Fields, senior vice president and chief financial officer at e.l.f. Beauty, shared during its earnings call that net sales in the U.S. were up by 36% year over year, while international net sales jumped by 44% over the same period.
Tariff expectations: Fields explained during the earnings call that tariffs contributed to e.l.f. Beauty’s reduced margin from a year ago.
“Q3 gross margin of 71% was down approximately 30 basis points compared to prior year and up 200 basis points sequentially versus Q2, in line with our expectations,” she stated. “The year-over-year decrease was largely driven by tariffs, partially offset by pricing and mix.”
Looking ahead, she noted that “the tariff rate is now at 45%,” essentially unchanged from November 2025 and lower than a recent peak “as high as 170% earlier in the fiscal year.” Assuming that the lower rate does not change, she assessed that e.l.f. would benefit.
“And if it remains at 45%, that becomes a little bit of a tailwind for us as we get into fiscal ’27 given that we retain those higher rates as we started the year,” she said.
The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (No. 41)
Q2 2026 net sales: The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. recorded a net sales increase of 5.6% year over year to $4.23 billion for its fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025. Concluding the first year of chief executive Stéphane de La Faverie’s Beauty Reimagined plan for Estée Lauder, the CEO said his company expanded its consumer coverage across online and brick-and-mortar in every region where it sells.
“For fiscal ’26, online is on track to exceed the 31% of reported sales reached in fiscal ’25 as we increasingly tap into the full potential of this high-growth channel,” de La Faverie told investors during an earnings call.

Tapestry Inc. (No. 47)
Q2 2026 net sales: Tapestry Inc. recorded a net sales increase of 14.0% year over year to $2.50 billion in its fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 27, 2025. During the period, the Coach and Kate Spade owner said its direct-to-consumer revenue was up by 17% on a pro forma basis with help from digital sales.
“We delivered gains across channels, fueled by direct-to-consumer growth of 17% compared to the prior year,” said Scott Row, chief financial officer and chief operating officer at Tapestry, during the company’s earnings call. “This included an increase in digital of approximately 20% and a mid-teens percentage increase in global brick-and-mortar sales, with all channels at strong and increasing profitability.”
Tapestry’s investments in AI: Asked during Tapestry’s call about its use of AI, Joanne Crevoiserat, president, CEO and director at Tapestry, referred to it as “a competitive advantage.”
“We have a lot of data, and we’ve been working on harnessing that data and leveraging tools,” she stated. “So we’re already applying AI tools across the value chain from product development, as you know, to inventory management to pricing to marketing, AI tools are embedded.”
In addition, she noted that Tapestry’s designers make use of AI when iterating on sketches.
“They can make design tweaks much faster than we could in the past,” she explained. “So the speed and the process of design inception and the idea through getting samples and working it through our process increases.”
Under Armour (No. 135)
Q3 2026 revenue: Under Armour said revenue declined by 5.2% year over year to $1.33 billion during its fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31. The sportswear and equipment brand saw a 10% drop in revenue in North America from a year ago as president and CEO Kevin Plank said the company continued to pursue a turnaround.
“Our third quarter adjusted operating results exceeded expectations, and despite a few unfortunate, non-recurring impacts, we’re encouraged by the progress we’re making in the business to reignite brand momentum,” said Plank. “In North America, we believe the December quarter marked the most challenging phase of our business reset, and we expect greater stability ahead as we build on this progress globally.”
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) revenue, which includes ecommerce, was down by 4% to $647 million, Under Armour reported. Ecommerce revenue as a standalone metric fell by 7% as it accounted for 38% of total DTC revenue in Q3.
Under Armour sales by region: Latin America, where net revenue was up 19.7% year over year to $70.60 million, proved to be a source of growth for Under Armour during Q3. Net revenue in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) also grew, up 6.0% to $315.75 million. Planked pointed to relationships with JD Sports and Sports Direct, which helped to buoy EMEA results.
Meanwhile, sales in North America (-10.3%) and the Asia-Pacific region (5.1%) both declined.
