Ulta Beauty (ISIN US90384S3031) was trading at EUR 483.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 1:40 p.m. CEST, with a minus 0.40 percent change versus the EUR 485.05 prior close. MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026 that 24 of 32 analysts rated the Nasdaq-listed retailer a Buy, with eight Holds.
Analysts keep a positive bias
The same MarketBeat report put the average 12-month price target at USD 627.83. Because that target is stated in US dollars while the reference quote is in euros, the two figures are kept as separate market measures rather than combined into an upside calculation.
The consensus follows a quarter that exceeded expectations. According to Zacks on September 30, 2026, second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings reached USD 6.55 per share, above the USD 6.21 consensus estimate.
Revenue beat raised the baseline
Zacks said second-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales rose 8.90 percent year over year to USD 3.04 billion, exceeding the USD 2.97 billion consensus estimate. Comparable sales increased 3.80 percent, while operating income rose 10.10 percent to USD 379.60 million and the operating margin improved to 12.50 percent from 12.40 percent.
Those figures provide a measurable comparison for the current valuation discussion: sales growth exceeded the consensus estimate by USD 0.07 billion, while earnings per share exceeded consensus by USD 0.34. The result is a stronger first-half operating base, but the comparison remains tied to the fiscal 2026 second-quarter reporting period.
Guidance leaves a tougher test
Management raised fiscal 2026 net sales growth guidance to 6.70-7.20 percent from 6.00-7.00 percent, according to Zacks. Comparable-sales growth is now projected at 3.20-3.70 percent, versus 2.50-3.50 percent previously, while the earnings outlook increased to USD 28.70-29.00 per share from USD 28.36-28.80.
Zacks also reported that second-half fiscal 2026 net sales growth is expected at 4.00-5.00 percent and comparable-sales growth at 2.00-3.00 percent. The higher full-year range therefore raises the execution bar, especially because the company expects fiscal 2026 gross margin to remain flat and second-quarter transactions were roughly unchanged.
Ulta Beauty stock remains below its high
Ulta Beauty's Nasdaq context shows a 52-week range of USD 443.60 to USD 714.97 and a market capitalization of USD 23.3 billion as of October 5, 2026. The euro quote and the US-dollar range describe different venues and currencies, so the range is not used to calculate a distance from the Lang & Schwarz price.
