what happened
Swiss group Richemont, owner of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, said on Friday that sales for its fiscal second quarter through September rose 13% at constant exchange rates from a year earlier. Quarterly revenue reached 5.95 billion euros ($6.58 billion), above the 5.895 billion euro forecast in the Visible Alpha consensus. The jewelry division, the group's main growth driver, grew 14%.
The result stands out in a luxury sector where hopes of a demand recovery have faded after weak reports from LVMH and subdued spending in China. Analysts at Bernstein say the category's strong growth and pricing power give the jewelry-focused group an edge.
Chairman Johann Rupert said: "Richemont delivered strong results in a volatile geopolitical and macroeconomic environment." He added that he expects this uncertain backdrop to persist in the foreseeable future.
why it matters
For markets, the key point is that revenue beat consensus in a sector where demand is broadly softening. This may shape sentiment toward European luxury producers and expectations for Chinese consumer spending.
