Polen U.S. Small Cap Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Oddity Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ:ODD) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“The most significant detractors from the Portfolio’s relative performance in the quarter were Oddity Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ:ODD), Carpenter Technology, and TransMedics Group. Oddity Tech is a digital beauty and wellness platform that uses AI and data science to develop and recommend personalized products based on unique skin type and color signatures. They have been able to scale their brands more profitably going direct to-consumer and owning that consumer relationship has helped develop brand loyalty and repeat business.

Currently the company operates under two cosmetics brands—Il Makiage and SpoiledChild—and recently announced it would be launching a third brand in the medical-grade skincare business. The stock sold off in the period as results came in shy of elevated expectations.”
