Deutsche Bank placed a "Catalyst Call: Buy" on Estee Lauder as a short-term investment idea. The analyst views the setup into Estee's fiscal Q3 results on May 1 "skewing positively." The firm sees the company as likely to report "in-line-to-better" results versus Street estimates, including confirmation that long-standing China travel retail inventory backlogs have been cleared, while reiterating fiscal 2024 guidance.
