Despite revenue exceeding expectations in the third quarter, which ended in December, the Swiss luxury group (Cartier, Piaget, Van Cleef & Arpels) did not shine on the stock market, dragging other luxury stocks down with it.
Richemont kicked off the first results of 2026 among the luxury giants.
A few weeks before the first-quarter results of LVMH (expected at the end of January), Hermès, and Kering (in February), the Swiss watchmaking, jewelry, and fashion group unveiled its third quarter of its staggered fiscal year (ended last December) on January 15.
Better than expected
The owner (among others) of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Piaget reported 4% growth in reported sales in the third quarter to €6.4 billion. This exceeded the consensus expectations of analysts cited by Visible Alpha, which had forecast €6.28 billion.
