Puig Poised To Ride Premiumization Tailwinds, but Moat Elusive Given Narrow Fragrance Focus
Business Strategy and Outlook
We think Puig's management has done a commendable job sharpening the firm's premium focus and expanding its brand collection through acquisitions, thus positioning the small beauty product maker well to benefit from premiumization tailwinds globally. However, we’re not convinced Puig has carved out an economic moat, given its lack of brand intangibles and a small scale relative to wide-moat peers L'Oréal and Estée Lauder.
