Ulta Beauty Inc. (ULTA) has been grappling with several major issues including
relocating stores, loss of market share, weak guidance and heavy competition. Despite this, standout beauty products and successful sales events have seen the company retain some level of favor. Plans for
store openings in different locations, and strategic efforts including an upcoming 'Ulta unleashed'
comeback plan under new CEO direction were also notable. The company presented a
growth strategy involving an online marketplace and an expansion of its eCommerce presence through a 'curated' marketplace. However, threats, like Walmartβs push into prestige beauty, may potentially harm Ulta. Still, it has plans to counter this, such as launching third-party marketplaces and featuring new brands in its stores under bigger partnerships. The
launch of an experiential event this April could also prove important for the company's future, as will the debut of
Ulta Beauty World in San Antonio. However, given the current landscape, some analysts have lowered their price target for the company's stocks.
