Estee Lauder Q1 beat: sales up $234M, adjusted operating income up $194M, so ~83 cents of every extra sales dollar became profit

Estée Lauder (EL) reported fiscal Q1 results Monday morning: sales up 7% to $3.715B, adjusted EPS of $0.72 vs $0.51 expected and a raised full-year outlook.

The number I like: sales grew $234M and adjusted operating income grew $194M. About 83 cents of every extra sales dollar fell to profit. That's a real turnaround. Not financial advice.
