Beiersdorf AG
Beiersdorf AG is a German consumer goods company best known for skin care and personal care products. Its brands include everyday items such as face creams, body lotions, deodorants, lip care, and sun care, sold through stores, pharmacies, and online channels. It also owns a smaller professional adhesive business that makes specialty glues and tapes used in manufacturing and packaging. The company makes money mainly by selling branded products to retailers, wholesalers, pharmacies, and other distribution partners, who then sell them to end customers. In skin care, Beiersdorf earns value from trusted household brands that people buy repeatedly for personal use. In adhesives, it sells technical products to industrial customers that need reliable bonding performance for specific applications. What makes Beiersdorf different is its split between consumer brands and industrial adhesives. The consumer side depends on brand trust, product formulas, and shelf presence in mass-market channels, while the adhesives side is a business-to-business supplier with specialized products that are harder to replace. That mix gives the company a role both as a maker of everyday care products and as a technical materials supplier.

Sales: Beiersdorf reported Q1 group net sales of EUR 2.484 billion, with organic sales down 4.6% and performance described as broadly in line with expectations.
Mix: Derma was the clear bright spot, growing 8.2% organically, while NIVEA fell 7% and La Prairie declined 14.9% because of retailer disruptions and weak travel retail in China.
Outlook: Management confirmed full-year 2026 guidance, saying the company still expects flat to slightly growing organic sales and an EBIT margin slightly below 2025.
NIVEA: Sell-out trends are better than sell-in, with NIVEA year-to-date sell-out up 1.7%, and management said the brand’s rebalancing strategy is starting to show early signs of progress.
Headwinds: The quarter was hit by retail disputes in France and Germany, the Middle East crisis, and disruption at Saks and in China travel retail, but management said these issues are being worked through.
Cost risk: Management said higher oil-linked costs are not fully baked into guidance yet and that pricing, savings, and other actions may be needed if pressure persists in the second half.
