10% owner Leonard A. Lauder 2013 Revocable Trust sells 2,786,040 shares of EL at $89.70 for $249.9M, exits position entirely.
The Leonard A. Lauder 2013 Revocable Trust divested its entire 2,786,040-share position in Estée Lauder at $89.70 on 2025-11-06, reducing holdings from 2.79M shares to zero shares and realizing $249,907,788.00 in proceeds. This complete exit by a 10% owner occurs against a backdrop of material headwinds: the company reported -8.2% annual revenue growth, posted negative full-year net income, and the stock is trading -14.4% from its 52-week high of $102.52. The sale price of $89.70 sits between the current price of $87.75 and the 52-week range, and the trust executed this liquidation during a period when the stock has declined -8.4% over 30 days and -3.2% over 90 days. The complete divestiture of such a large legacy position removes a historically tied stakeholder during a period of deteriorating operational momentum.
