Strong Sales In Asia Give Richemont 2 Percent Boost – 20/1/10


All signs point to improvement in the luxury sector once again as Richemont, owner of luxury brands like Cartier and Montblanc, beat forecasts for sales over the Christmas period.

Due to booming sales in Asia, sales rose “2 percent in the third quarter at actual exchange rates, or 7 percent when stripping out currency fluctuations, to 1.585 billion euros ($2.29 billion)”, according to Reuters.

Also, the group's shares were trading 2.3 percent higher, and analysts predict Richemont will “sustain its positive earnings momentum.”

These uplifting figures have come just days after Tiffany & Co. reported improved Christmas trading (see the MO Down for 15 January).
