L’Oréal posts faster sales growth as professional and dermatology brands expand

L’Oréal ($OR-EURONEXT) generated third-quarter 2026 sales of €11.56 billion, up 11.9% as reported and 7.2% like for like. Growth was 7.7% on the company’s adjusted like-for-like measure, which removes sales timing effects associated with its information-technology transformation. Professional Products and Dermatological Beauty each achieved 13.9% growth on that adjusted basis, while Luxe increased 7.0% and Consumer Products rose 3.8%.

Nine-month revenue reached €35.34 billion, an increase of 7.7% as reported. The quarterly regional picture remained uneven: adjusted like-for-like growth reached 19.5% in the South Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region, but Latin America declined 3.0%. Management remained confident of delivering sales and profit growth in 2026. That statement is an outlook, while the adjusted growth figures should be distinguished from both reported sales and standard like-for-like growth.
