Beiersdorf's organic sales declined 2.3% in the second quarter, an improvement from the 4.6% decline in the first quarter, driven by a recovery in La Prairie and continued strength in derma. Nivea remained weak, down 6.8% organically in the first half, driving a negative revision to guidance.
Beiersdorf’s clear focus on skincare and efforts to reposition Nivea into facecare have the potential to pay off in superior growth and improved margins over the midterm.
With around 70% of consumer segment sales coming from Nivea, Beiersdorf has considerably more brand risk than most of its large-cap peers.
