- Story Text: L'Oreal's fourth-quarter sales grew 6%, it said on Thursday (February 12), as strong demand for the group's haircare and perfumes in Europe and North America compensated for barely any growth in North Asia.
The Paris-based owner of Maybelline make-up and Kerastase shampoo said sales for the three months to end-December came to 11.3 billion euros ($13.42 billion), up 6% on a like-for-like basis, versus expectations for a 6.3% rise in an analysts' consensus compiled by Visible Alpha.
The French cosmetics group typically outperforms rivals thanks to its global presence and wide range of products spanning mass market makeup to luxury perfumes and skincare sold in clinics.
But growth has slowed in recent quarters, with consumers in China opting for cheaper local brands, cautious shoppers in the U.S. curbing spending, while independent brands have been taking market share.
L'Oreal's U.S.-traded shares were down 6.5% at 1715 GMT.
