Long-term attractive, initiating with Overweight

We are initiating on Ulta Beauty with an Overweight rating and a $303 price target. The company is the leading player within the highly attractive specialty beauty retail category. This category is still in its early stages of growth, with considerable market share gain opportunity versus legacy channels. Demographic trends are positive for the expansion of the addressable market. Ulta is well positioned to take advantage of the favourable backdrop given leadership, a strongly loyalty model and ever-strengthening brand relationships, with an attractive valuation given the growth profile.
