Burberry Celebrates 15 Percent Increase In Third-Quarter Profit – 21/1/10


Burberry has joined Tiffany & Co. and Richemont in celebrating better-than-expected sales, with WWD reporting a 15.5 percent increase in third-quarter revenue for the British luxury brand.

The company also said it is anticipating improved wholesale results for the second half. They are projecting wholesale sales to be down 10 to 12 percent, rather than 15 percent.

A Bloomberg report also revealed that Burberry shares surged 8.3 percent, to the highest level in more than two years after the announcement.
