The world's largest beauty company, L'Oreal, has invested $160 million to revamp its North America Research & Innovation Center, its largest investment in R&I in its 110 years history, located in Clark, New Jersey.
Hieronimus said he is "not overly concerned" over the impact of White House tariffs on L'Oreal, as the group produces most of its goods sold in the U.S. in the North American country. Some of the cosmetics titan's luxury products, such as fragrances, are nevertheless exported from Europe.

LRLCF's 4Q24 results were disappointing, with organic sales growth slowing to 2.5% y/y, down from 6.9% in 4Q23, and gross margin declining. The luxury segment's growth struggles, particularly in North Asia, and a weak consumer spending environment in China are significant concerns. Broad-based demand weakness in mass beauty and active cosmetic segments, coupled with a poor macroeconomic environment, impairs LRLCF's growth prospects.
Despite the disappointing results in China and a challenging market, L'Oréal managed to grow in all product divisions and once again achieved outperformance. The fundamentals remain rock solid and the company is excellently positioned to achieve sustainable growth for a very long time. The company fits well in a balanced dividend growth portfolio and currently offers a great mix of dividend yield, growth, safety, and consistency.
