China Stimulus Measures Could Boost Luxury Goods in Near Term -- Market Talk

Dow Jones09-24

1008 GMT - Luxury goods stocks could react positively to China's easing monetary policy conditions, RBC Capital Markets analysts say in a note. European luxury stocks dropped in recent months as investors reacted to waning Chinese demand. "We believe we are getting closer to the bottom of the luxury cycle, which could happen in the next 3-6 months (likely end of 2024 or into early 2025), assuming no material worsening of China luxury demand trends," they say. Swatch Group, Burberry and Richemont are the most exposed, whereas Pandora and EssilorLuxottica are the least exposed to China's central bank stimulus measures, the analysts say. Burberry traded 4.8% higher, Hermes was up 4.3%, Richemont rose 4.4%, Gucci owner Kering was 5.1% higher and Swatch Group was up 2.3%. Pandora and EssilorLuxottica both traded higher over 1%.
