Estee Lauder's Restructuring Plan

Estee Lauder is undertaking a restructuring plan to make the company more profitable. The plan includes cutting as many as 3,000 job positions and raising $500-700 million in cost savings. The company aims to bring in $1.4 billion through 2025 and 2026, primarily in operating profitability. The restructuring plan is a response to plummeting sales in Asia, which have negatively impacted Estee Lauder's revenue and profits.
