Coty's Paris Stock Offering

Beauty company Coty (NYSE: COTY) declined by 2.21% in after-hours trading on Monday after filing for a dual listing of its shares on the Paris Stock Exchange and announcing an offering of 33 million shares.

Details: The offering is available publicly in the United States and on a private placement outside of the United States. Investors can either buy Coty shares in euros on the Paris exchange or in U.S. dollars on the New York Stock Exchange.

Also: Net proceeds from the offerings will be used to retire some outstanding debt and for other general corporate purposes, such as strategic investments, working capital, and capital expenditures.

Background: Coty was founded in Paris in 1904. Having a dual listing in both the U.S. and France will allow the beauty company to tap into investors in both markets.

Powering the Story: Despite posting mixed financial earnings results in August, Coty recently increased its full-year guidance due to strong “momentum in beauty demand.”

Stock Price: Coty’s stock is up 34% this year, including a 4% increase in the last 30 days.

Final Thoughts: Beauty and cosmetic stocks are considered to be “recession-proof” because consumers still spend money on beauty products even during recessions. It’s something to consider especially if there is a future recession.
