May 31, 2025, 03:22 AMUpdate 5/30/2025: Ulta reported its earnings, and it was definitely a mixed bag from my perspective. Looks like their earnings were flat year-over-year. All things considered from a macro standpoint, that's not so bad. And same store sales grew by around 2.9% - certainly a healthy metric. But I was hoping that my makeup line of business would have grown both top line and bottom line a bit more. Ehh, it's just one quarter ... with lots of headwinds due to things outside of their control (this tariffs stuff) ... and a very strong management track record. I'm not about to exit this business now! Especially not when my earnings yield is above 5% ... and growing.
