On May 21, e.l.f. Beauty rose 8.02% in after-hours trading, trading at $54.59/share, with trading volume of approximately $30.98 million. The rally was driven by the company's fiscal fourth-quarter results, which exceeded analyst expectations on both the top and bottom lines.
Specifically, e.l.f. Beauty reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.32, beating the consensus estimate of $0.29 by 10.34%. Quarterly revenue came in at $449.3 million versus the expected $422.9 million, representing approximately 29% year-over-year growth. While EPS declined 58.97% compared to $0.78 in the year-ago quarter, the magnitude of the beat on both metrics lifted investor sentiment. The company also issued fiscal year 2027 guidance of $3.27–$3.32 in adjusted EPS, which fell short of the FactSet consensus of $3.61. Nevertheless, the strong quarterly performance overshadowed the softer forward outlook in after-hours trading.
