The US economy continued to show resilience, with gross domestic product (GDP) growing at an annualised rate of 4.3% in the third quarter – its fastest pace in about two years. Household spending was the dominant driver (up 3.5%), underscoring the strength of the American consumer.
Ulta Beauty reported strong third-quarter results, with digital engagement rising, eCommerce up in the mid-teen range and loyalty membership growing 4% to a new high. AI-driven personalization, social-led discovery and expanded app capabilities contributed to stronger conversion across channels.
A strong quarterly report helped drive big gains for a retailer of make-up and other beauty products, while the end of a high-profile bidding war made waves in media and entertainment.
Ulta Beauty is soaring after earnings in Friday's stock market and hitting new highs. Goldman Sachs and two oil plays are also at highs.
