Luxury Sector's Recovery Might Be Delayed Amid Geopolitical Turmoil -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-16

0941 GMT - The rebound of the luxury industry could be damped by geopolitical turmoil linked to the conflict in the Middle East, analysts at UBS say in a note to investors. While the fourth-quarter earnings season offered early signs of stabilization, with improvement reported into early 2026, "heightened geopolitical uncertainty is likely to weigh on near-term earnings and delay the long-awaited inflection," the analysts write. Investors are concerned over the strength and timing of a recovery in demand for luxury goods, they add. Still, UBS said the companies' initiatives to rebuild consumer appetite for luxuries through creativity and more accessible price points is positive. LVMH and Richemont remain UBS's top picks in the luxury space. (andrea.figueras@wsj.com)
