How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 22.8x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: ELF is currently trading at $118.46, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $107.83 to $116.32. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 32.9) compared to its historical average (22.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 12.9% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, ELF is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $105.36, while resistance sits at $123.13.

Market Sentiment: ELF scores 31/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $131.00 (+10.6%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
