File Your Claim →What Happened?
Estée Lauder Companies, the global cosmetics and luxury beauty conglomerate, was sued by shareholders who alleged that the company made materially false and misleading statements about its business performance, particularly regarding its sales in China and its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The lawsuit alleged that Estée Lauder executives overstated the strength of demand recovery in Asia while concealing deteriorating business conditions.
When the true state of the business was revealed through a series of disappointing earnings reports and guidance cuts, Estée Lauder's stock price declined significantly, causing substantial losses for investors who had purchased shares during the class period based on the allegedly misleading statements.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Payments are calculated based on your recognized loss — the difference between what you paid for the stock and what it was worth after the corrective disclosures, adjusted by a formula. Brokerage records showing your purchase dates, prices, and any sales during the class period are required. Deadline is August 5, 2026.
