I have always considered Estée Lauder to be a high-quality business. But in 2022 shares were trading too expensive for me to justify buying the stock. Today, however, after a 65-70% drop in valuation, I think the time has come to buy shares in this category (beauty) leader. While downside risks remain, I argue that the company's expansion into high-margin markets, focus on digital channels, and operational cost-cutting measures contribute to a favorable long-term outlook.

Estee Lauder's earnings have already started to rebound, but shares remain at multi-year lows. The company's operations are stronger than the market is giving it credit for. I believe the company's dividend is safe, and the current 3% yield is attractive given the firm's high quality and significant long-term growth prospects.
