Oriflame Cosmetics SA (ORI)’s Russian sales stabilized in the third quarter after the beauty products retailer made changes to a compensation plan for sales representatives in the country. The stock rose the most in more than a decade.
Revenue in Russia rose 1 percent at local currency rates in the three months through September, the Luxembourg-based company said today, the first growth in more than a year. Oriflame, which gets about half of sales from the countries of the former Soviet Union, reported estimate-beating third-quarter earnings, resulting in a record share rise.
