Description: ULTA Ulta Beauty October 14, 2025

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA) is a U.S.-based specialty beauty retailer that operates stores, shop-in-shops, an e-commerce site (Ulta.com), and mobile apps across the United States and Mexico. Its product assortment spans branded and private-label cosmetics, fragrance, haircare, skincare, bath & body items, professional hair products, and salon styling tools.

The company also generates revenue from in-store beauty services-including hair, makeup, brow, and skin treatments-delivered through its salon-style locations. This services component typically contributes higher gross margins (≈ 55 % in FY 2023) than product sales, providing a profitability buffer during periods of price pressure.

Key recent performance indicators (FY 2023): revenue of $8.6 billion, comparable-store sales growth of 9 % YoY, and a 3-point increase in the services-to-product sales mix, which helped lift overall operating margin to 12.5 %. The business benefits from the broader U.S. beauty market’s ~5 % CAGR, driven by rising consumer spend on personal care and the “beauty-as-self-care” trend.

Economic sensitivities include discretionary consumer spending, which can be dampened by higher interest rates or inflation, and supply-chain constraints that affect product availability. However, Ulta’s omnichannel footprint and loyalty program (Ultamate Rewards) have historically mitigated traffic volatility by encouraging repeat purchases across both physical and digital channels.
