Why beauty dealmakers are shying away from launching formal sales processes

Brian Yue, Mergermarket’s New York-based consumer reporter, joins Dealcast host Julie-Anna Needham to discuss dealmaking in the beauty sector, including:

• How trending, well-branded assets have overcrowded the space, refocusing buyers' attention toward science-backed or dermatology-focused companies;
• Which companies have successfully transacted, looking at examples like the sale of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty for USD 1bn;
• How consumer spending and larger factors are impacting beauty sector dealmaking;

All this and more in this week’s Dealcast.
