  "account": "Samsung's stock tumbled following disappointing revenue projections, despite a surprisingly strong sales figure in the previous fourth quarter. The company reported a 1.3% increase in sales to $1.27 billion by the end of June, surpassing analysts' expectations of a decline. However, the adjusted loss per share was higher than anticipated, at two cents. Coty is currently pursuing a strategy focused on streamlining operations and cutting costs, in an effort to offset expected sales losses due to the early return of the Gucci beauty license in the 2028 fiscal year. The company is also considering selling brands such as CoverGirl and Rimmel. Estee Lauder, a US cosmetics company, has convinced investors with an optimistic outlook, with its stock rising by nearly 8% in pre-market trading on Wall Street on Wednesday. For the 2027 fiscal year, the owner of brands like Clinique and M.A.C expects a profit of between $3.10 and $3.35 per share, outperforming market expectations. The company's sales for the previous fourth quarter hit $3.63 billion, exceeding the forecasted $3.54 billion. This success can be attributed to robust demand from affluent and younger customers, particularly for trend items, luxury fragrances, and skincare products. Brands like Le Labo and Balmain Beauty are driving the business, with a 10% sales growth in the fourth quarter. Le Labo's classic collection, where 50-milliliter perfumes are sold for $250, benefited from expanded distribution channels and targeted outreach to new customer segments. Swedish fintech Klarna outperformed market expectations with a quarterly profit of $9 million, compared to a loss of $53 million a year earlier and analyst estimates of -$17.4 million. The company's adjusted operating profit rose to $91 million from $29 million the previous year, with revenue increasing by 27% to $1.04 billion, outpacing expectations of $993.8 million. The gross merchandise value (GMV), a measure of business activity, grew 18% to $36.6 billion in the quarter, with the US GMV rising by 27%. However, the company lowered its GMV forecast for the entire year from previously over $155 billion to between $149 and $151 billion, citing \"a more cautious assessment, primarily of sales in Germany, our largest volume market.\" Despite this, the stock fell by 5% in after-hours trading, with analyst Brian Chin of Stifel explaining this as a result of investors' high expectations before the numbers were released. Competitors like Lam Research and KLA presented strong quarterly results and growth forecasts. Applied Materials' shares have already more than doubled this year.",
