BUZZ-Deutsche Bank bullish on European luxury stocks, upgrades Burberry, Inditex

** Deutsche Bank predicts a shift in market trends in 2025, with luxury stocks set to outperform retail and sporting goods after two years of underperformance

** Despite uncertainties, it predicts a shift from 'quiet luxury' as consumer confidence returns in China buoyed by stimulus

** It dismisses the US tariff impact on the luxury sector and expects the sector's margins to expand, barring UK retailers due to increased employment taxation

** Broker's most preferred stocks are Kering PRTP.PA, Burberry BRBY.L, Puma PUMG.DE, Zalando ZALG.DE and M&S MKS.L among others, expects benefits from China's recovery

** Its least preferred stocks are Moncler MONC.MI, AB Foods ABF.L, JD Sports JD.L and boohoo BOOH.L due to factors including increased competition and unadjusted market expectations

** It upgrades Burberry on a credible luxury turnaround story with scope for robust earnings momentum and a significant change in investor perception, and Inditex ITX.MC given the justified premium valuation due to higher price points

** It also upgrades Associated British Food considering most earnings downside risk factored in with current guidance, implying limited valuation downside
