Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 56% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 24, 2025
Sally Beauty is working to win back shoppers as it sells both online and in stores. A DoorDash trial helps it reach city buyers fast, and more beauty spending is moving online. The stock looks like it could rise gradually over the next few months if store traffic and category data keep improving. We still want to see stronger up days that show real buying interest, and solid execution on pricing and promotions.
Primary drivers
- DoorDash test widens reach and speeds delivery to more urban customers
- More beauty sales are shifting online, boosting convenience and margins
- Stock momentum is improving, but we want clearer strength before adding
- Results depend on solid execution and smart promotions to draw shoppers
