Estee Lauder is in talks to acquire Puig Brands, creating a cosmetics giant with $20 bln in annual sales. The deal would add well-known perfume and fashion brands such as Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Carolina Herrera. The acquisition follows slowing growth and downgrades of earnings estimates that have pulled down Puig's stock since its IPO in 2024.
