As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on August 28, 2026.

Ulta Beauty opened the session at $542 and shed value steadily through the first hour of trading. That sustained pressure from the open suggests sellers acted on the overnight earnings filing without waiting for a bounce.

The stock found a rough floor after the initial slide and largely held it through the mid-morning period. That stabilization does not erase the damage, but it marks a level the market tested and, at least temporarily, defended.
For anyone tracking Ulta's trajectory, the slide to $507.17 in a single regular session is the key figure to keep in mind. Whether this is a one-day reset or the start of a more sustained rerating will depend on how investors process the full detail of the Q2 filing in the sessions ahead.
