<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Commence Aims To Redefine Beauty For Women Over 40</h2>
Commence targets a demographic often overlooked by mainstream beauty brands, namely women navigating midlife changes such as menopause and aging hair textures, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/actor-brooke-shields-lessons-ive-learned-as-first-time-startup-founder.html">CNBC</a> reports. According to Forbes, Shields launched an online community during the pandemic to connect with women over 40 and discovered recurring concerns around thinning hair, scalp dryness, and gray hair management.
The brand's initial lineup includes a $21 dry shampoo, a $26 leave-in conditioner, and a $30 thickening root serum, Forbes reports. To bring her vision to life, Shields assembled a team that includes Karla De Bernardo, known for her marketing work with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45643848/macys-feels-tariffs-and-consumer-spending-heat-cuts-profit-forecast">Macy's</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>), and Mark Knitowski, a former fragrance and product expert at Victoria's Secret (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>).
Rather than building a brand centered around her personal image, Shields told the Journal that she opted to keep her name off the product labels. &#8220;The products have to speak for themselves,&#8221; she said, reinforcing her commitment to long-term brand independence.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overcoming Skepticism From Venture Capitalists</h2>
While raising capital, Shields said that she encountered skepticism from some venture capitalists who questioned her entry into an already saturated beauty space. One investor told her she would likely fail, prompting her response: "I'm not here for your opinion, I'm here for your money."
Although the investor passed on the opportunity, Shields told the Journal that she was proud of herself for speaking up and standing her ground. &#8220;We'll go back to pitch him again,&#8221; she added.
According to a January report by<a href="https://beautymatter.com/articles/just-the-numbers-the-gen-x-factor"> Beauty Matter</a> referenced by Shields, Gen Xers spend an estimated $279 billion annually on beauty and personal care, with forecasts projecting that number to reach $430 billion over the next decade.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shields is Redefining Success After 50</h2>
Shields said she saw an opportunity to serve a demographic she felt was overlooked by existing beauty brands, according to the Journal. She was included in Fortune's 50 Over 50 list, which celebrates entrepreneurs, scientists, and changemakers redefining what achievement looks like in later stages of life, Forbes reports.
Shields doesn't sugarcoat what it takes to build something from the ground up. &#8220;I would tell someone, just don't give up,&#8221; she told the Journal. &#8220;You've got to just be avaricious, and if you start doubting, just do something that absolutely stops you and keep moving forward. Be ready to pivot and be ready to surround yourself with the best talent that you can find to support the whole team.&#8221;
Commence is still in its early days, but Shields is clear about where she wants to take it. She's building toward something lasting that reflects the needs, identity, and buying power of a group that's been ignored so far.

From Calvin Klein Icon To Founder: Brooke Shields Launches Commence At 59, Raises $3.5M And Says 'It Is So Not For The Meek Of Heart'

Roblox Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) announced a leadership change on Tuesday, naming Naveen Chopra its<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45848994/roblox-appoints-naveen-chopra-as-chief-financial-officer" rel="noreferrer noopener"> incoming Chief Financial Officer.</a>
The appointment becomes effective June 30, 2025, as Chopra takes over from Michael Guthrie, who is set to transition into an advisory role after a seven-year stint guiding Roblox through major financial milestones.
With more than two decades of financial leadership behind him, Chopra most recently served as Executive Vice President and CFO at Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>).
Meanwhile, Paramount is reducing its U.S. workforce by 3.5% due to a decrease in cable TV subscribers, with potential future impacts on international staff. This was communicated to employees on Tuesday morning, according to an internal memo reviewed by Reuters.
Andrew Warren, currently Strategic Advisor to the Office of the CEO and former Chief Financial Officer of Discovery Communications at Paramount, will assume the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45848767/paramount-announces-cfo-transition" rel="noreferrer noopener">additional role of EVP, Interim CFO.</a>
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, PARA stock has gained over 0.17% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Communication Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSPC#NYSE">RSPC</a>).

Chopra previously oversaw Amazon.com&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Devices and Services division, where he helped expand platforms like Alexa, Fire TV, and Kindle through strategic monetization.
Chopra&#8217;s hire follows Guthrie&#8217;s decision to step down to pursue personal interests, though he will stay on through the end of June to support the leadership handover.
David Baszucki, CEO and co-founder of Roblox, praised Chopra&#8217;s dual foundation in finance and engineering, noting that it positions him well to align product innovation with financial execution.
&#8220;Naveen&#8217;s experience as CFO at leading companies equips him with invaluable financial and strategic acumen to foster Roblox&#8217;s growth,&#8221; Baszucki said in a statement.
Chopra said he&#8217;s excited to join Roblox at a time when its platform is uniquely positioned at the intersection of digital entertainment and global community building.
He will oversee accounting, audit, tax, and treasury departments. Chopra also serves on the board of Macy&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>).
RBLX stock has gained over 166% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Bitwise Funds Trust Bitwise Web3 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWEB#NYSE">BWEB</a>).

Roblox Hires Paramount's CFO: Will Naveen Chopra Fuel The Platform's Next Big Leap?

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) plunged 20.79% during the pre-market trading session on Friday, as it cut its full-year earnings forecast amid an unpredictable macroeconomic environment.
What Happened:&nbsp;The athletic apparel company&#8217;s Q1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45803189/lululemon-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-shares-tumble-on-weaker-earnings-forecast">earnings</a>, released on Thursday, exceeded analysts&#8217; expectations. However, the company has adjusted its full-year earnings forecast due to a &#8220;dynamic macroenvironment.&#8221; The company is dealing with tariffs and a potential deceleration in the U.S. economy. 
CEO&nbsp;Calvin McDonald&nbsp;acknowledged the challenges posed by tariffs and concerns about a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy. Despite these challenges, McDonald expressed the company&#8217;s intention to capitalize on its&nbsp;strong financial position and competitive&nbsp;advantages.
McDonald also noted that U.S. consumer behavior is cautious and deliberate, expressing his dissatisfaction with the U.S. growth. The company&#8217;s CFO,&nbsp;Meghan Frank, disclosed plans to introduce &#8220;strategic price increases, examining each item across our range,&#8221; to counterbalance the effects of tariffs. She emphasized that these hikes would be applicable to a minor fraction of their products and would be &#8220;modest in nature.&#8221;
The company&#8217;s shares fell by 5% in after-hours trading following the announcement.

Why It Matters: Lululemon's report follows a wave of retailers cutting or withdrawing their guidance amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Companies like Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) and Macy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) lowered their profit forecasts, while others, such as American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>), scrapped their full-year outlook entirely.
On the earnings call, Frank said Lululemon's outlook factors in a 30% tariff on Chinese imports and a 10% tariff on goods from other sourcing countries. In 2024, the company sourced most of its products from Vietnam (40%), followed by Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Lululemon outsources all manufacturing and fabric supply to external vendors.

Lululemon Stock Crashes Nearly 21% In Friday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

In the current session, Macy's Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) is trading at $11.90, after a 0.29% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.38%, and in the past year, by 36.71%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Evaluating Macy's P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 44.37 in the Broadline Retail industry, Macy's Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.03. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748631635_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Macy's

Citigroup analyst Paul Lejuez maintains Macy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $11 to $12.

Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Macy's, Raises Price Target to $12

Macy&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) reported its first-quarter results on Wednesday, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45643848/macys-feels-tariffs-and-consumer-spending-heat-cuts-profit-forecast">sales and earnings topping expectations</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Goldman Sachs On Macy&#8217;s
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> maintained a Neutral rating, while lifting the price target from $12 to $13.
Macy&#8217;s reported adjusted earnings of 16 cents per share, beating consensus of 15 cents per share, "with the beat largely driven by stronger comp delivery," Roach said in a note. Despite the beat, management lowered their full-year earnings guidance to $1.60-$2.00 per share, from their prior projection of $2.05-$2.25 per share, he added.
"The company's updated outlook accounts for initial and current tariffs, a somewhat weaker discretionary spending backdrop, and a more competitive promotional environment," the analyst wrote. Macy's forecast for net sales remained at $21.0 billion-$21.4 billion, he stated.
Telsey Advisory Group On Macy&#8217;s
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Analyst Dana Telsey</a> reaffirmed a Market Perform rating, while lowering the price target from $15 to $14.
Telsey said Macy&#8217;s achieved its earnings beat due to a less-steep-than-expected decline in sales and gains related to a real estate sale, which mitigated higher-than-expected operating expenses. The company expects tariffs to impact its gross margin by 20-40 basis points (bps) this year, she added.
"The second quarter guide reflects markdowns on early spring product that arrived late in Q4 and in February, clearing up shelf space to offer newness through the summer and enter fall and winter in a good inventory position," the analyst wrote. 
For the full year, the company reaffirmed its revenue guidance but reduced its earnings outlook to reflect challenges in the current macro, she further stated.
JPMorgan On Macy&#8217;s
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Analyst Matthew Boss</a> reiterated a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $13 to $12.
Sales momentum accelerated in March and April, due to improvements in product and experience and more favorable weather, Boss said. There was further improvement in May, he added.
Management reduced their full-year earnings guidance, with gross margin expected to decline by 30-70 bps year-on-year, the analyst stated. The lowered gross margin outlook reflects a tariff hit of 20-40 bps and an "intensifying promotional landscape," he further wrote.
M Price Action: Shares of Macy&#8217;s were flat at $12.00 at the time of publication on Thursday.
