L'Oreal SA

L'Oréal SA engages in the manufacture and sale of beauty and hair products. It operates through the following segments: Skincare and Sun Protection, Makeup, Haircare, Hair Coloring, Fragrances, and Others. The Others segment includes hygiene products as well as sales by American professional distributors with non-Group brands.

China has been the go-to excuse for disappointing result after disappointing result in the global luxury sector for nigh on two years now, and L'Oreal's has not bucked the trend. Sales in the first nine months for France's third-largest company came to €32.4 billion, which was 6% higher on a yearly basis but considerably below analysts' expectations.
