** Deutsche Bank Research upgrades French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH LVMH.PA and British luxury fashion house Burberry BRBY.L to "buy" from "hold", saying it is "taking the leap of faith" on a sector recovery
** "We believe investors want to participate in the sequential sales recovery driven by a Chinese recovery in 2026," DB analyst Adam Cochrane says about the sector
** The broker sees LVMH as a key beneficiary of shifting investor sentiment due forecasted improvements in EPS
** It highlights early success in Burberry's turnaround strategy and increased management confidence
** DB reiterates "buy" for Hermes HRMS.PA, Pandora PNDORA.CO and Zegna ZGN.N
** It maintains "hold" on Richemont CFR.S, Kering PRTP.PA and Moncler MONC.MI, citing a mix of valuation and margin headwinds
** It substantially raises price targets across its coverage, including a 72% hike for Kering and a 25% increase for Burberry, reflecting the more positive sector-wide outlook
