Ulta Beauty (ULTA) is strategically leveraging
AI technology to allow customers to virtually try on hairstyles, capitalizing on partnerships with Nvidia and Rokt. The company has unveiled mini makeup toys targeting young consumers, a move that's been met with some resistance. Key shareholders, including Franklin Resources Inc. and Tidal Investments LLC, are repositioning their ULTA holdings, as the stock navigates a volatile market. Recently surpassing earnings expectations, Ulta raised its
annual profit forecast and plans to expand its retail chain by adding 400 new stores. A new partnership with Universal Pictures' Wicked cinematic event ties into their wider growth plans. ULTA also faces increased competition and a possible demand slowdown. The company is banking on store expansion and an Adobe partnership to stimulate growth. Operating in a shifting beauty market, it continues to innovate in customer experiences, recently launching a new online community platform, wellness initiatives, and a multi-branded beauty collection. It also raised its price target multiple times; however, stocks have responded variably.
