e.l.f. Beauty tops Q4 estimates but issues softer-than-expected outlook

e.l.f. Beauty reported fiscal Q4 results that beat Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profitability, but its fiscal 2027 guidance came in below analyst estimates. The headline is mixed: near-term execution was strong, yet the softer outlook signals potential growth and margin headwinds ahead. The guidance miss is the more important incremental takeaway for the stock.
