e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE:ELF) closed almost 7% lower after the business released the first financial update regarding the purchase of Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand, which showed underwhelming revenue growth.

• Sales for the quarter ended in June at $40.2 million below the expected run rate: Rhode's previously reported annual sales for the latest full year were $212 million, so the latest figures didn't excite investors. However, the brand's 33% operating margin vastly exceeds e.l.f. at 19%.
• "e.l.f.'s brand remains ascendant in the cosmetics and skincare industry": Fool analyst Tim Green pointed out that "e.l.f. is going through a rough patch, but we're confident that better days are ahead."

Bloomberg reports that Hidden Gems rec PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) is increasing its stake in German digital commerce company Shopware, as it looks to further build on international expansion.

• "This reflects our…commitment to supporting the growth of digital commerce in Europe": A PayPal spokesperson didn't confirm the transaction details. The company initially invested $100 million along with Carlyle (NASDAQ:CG) back in 2022 but is now reportedly increasing the stake from 11% to 41%.
• Germany offers a key e-commerce gateway: Shopware is the most widely used shop system in Germany, with the marketplace being the largest in the European Union, representing an area of growth for PayPal.

President Donald Trump signed a landmark deal with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to increase U.S. access to rare earths and minerals, easing pressure from the existing Chinese export curbs on the materials.

• Indirectly reducing trade tensions with China: Both countries pledged to protect their domestic markets from unfair trade practices, a thinly veiled nod to China, the largest producer globally.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is set to report after the market closes, as is Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN), with the latter under scrutiny due to the semiconductor exposure to China.

• Beating earnings estimates for the past four quarters: 3M (NYSE:MMM) should release earnings before the market opens, aiming to build on a strong previous quarter, with a focus on whether management will be divesting parts of the industrial division.
• More information on tariff mitigation expected: GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) is slated to put out quarterly results before the opening bell, with profit due to grow, thanks in part to strong demand for spare parts.
