François Coty started Coty, an American international cosmetic company, in 1904, and it has since become a global leader in fragrance. It has the second-largest market share for hair color and style products, and the third-largest for color cosmetics.
Coty and its subsidiaries create, manufacture, market, and sell fragrances, cosmetics, skincare, and nail care products, as well as professional and retail hair care items. In 2018, the company owned roughly 77 brands.
Coty’s NYSE shares have dropped by 9.57 percent, from $11.60 on May 3 to $10.49 as of this report, bringing the group’s market capitalization below $9.5 billion.
Nabi, who also founded vegan skincare line Orveda, owns a large 3.53 percent interest in Coty, equivalent to 30,304,786 shares worth more than $310 million. The recent decline in the group’s share price has reduced the market value of Nabi’s interest by $33.64 million, from $351.5 million on May 3 to $317.9 million as of this update.
Despite this loss, Sue Nabi remains an important player in the beauty world. As CEO of Coty, her visionary leadership continues to impact the global beauty industry. She is also one of the world’s wealthiest African-born business executives.
