Der Gucci-Mutterkonzern Kering meldete einen Verlust für sein letztes Finanzjahr. Der Luxussektor versucht, seine Attraktivität wiederzuerlangen, indem er eine zurück zur Wurzel-Strategie mit der Suche nach neuen Möglichkeiten, sich an Kunden zu binden, kombiniert. Die Größten haben in den letzten Jahren Verluste gemacht: LVMH und Kering sowie Burberry.

Die britische Modehaus Burberry hat Quartalsverkäufe erreicht, die den Erwartungen entsprachen. Die Verkaufszahlen in den USA und China stiegen stark. Der Aktienpreis fiel jedoch um etwa 7 %. Die Einnahmen in Europa und dem Nahen Osten sanken aufgrund des Iran-Krieges. Dies schwächte die Optimismus der Investoren hinsichtlich der Wiederbelebungstrategie. Ein Treffer für globale Reisen und steigende Lebenskosten, verbunden mit dem Nahostkonflikt, haben die frühen Anzeichen einer Erholung im 400-Milliarden-Dollar-Luxusmarkt unterbrochen. Beide Faktoren haben die Gewinne gedrückt und eine Abwärtsbewegung verstärkt, die nach der Post-Pandemiewelle folgte. Burberry meldete einen Zehn-Prozent-Anstieg seiner Quartalsverkaufszahlen in den USA und China nach einer Werbekampagne. Die Gesamtgruppenumsätze stiegen um fünf Prozent, was den Erwartungen entsprach. CEO Joshua Schulman sagte, das Unternehmen habe eine "starke Anziehung" mit einer neuen Generation junger Gen-Z-Käufer aufgebaut. Investoren sind geteilt über die Solidität des Burberry-Turnarounds und ob die ersten Anzeichen von Erfolg in langfristige Wachstum umgesetzt werden können. JPMorgan-Analysten sagten in einem Bericht, dass Burbeys Ergebnisse "gut, aber vielleicht nicht gut genug" seien. Sie fügten hinzu, dass einige die Geschwindigkeit der Erholung in China als zu langsam sehen mögen. Neben einer gedämpften Leistung in Europa, dem Nahen Osten, Indien und Afrika im vierten Quartal betrug der Betriebsgewinn für das Finanzjahr 155 Millionen US-Dollar, was eine Rebound von einem Verlust von etwa vier Millionen US-Dollar im Vorjahr darstellt. Trotz der Erholung zog Burberry seine jährliche Dividende nicht wieder ein.

Burberry hat im zweiten Quartal wieder vergleichbare Umsatzwachstum erreicht. Der Konzern verzeichnete eine Steigerung der Umsätze um 5% im vierten Quartal und 2% für das gesamte Jahr. Die Profitabilität und der Cashflow verbesserten sich deutlich, da die Bruttomarge auf 67,9% stieg und der angepasste Betriebsergebnis um 160 Millionen GBP von 26 Millionen GBP erhöht wurde. Der Free-Cash-Flow stieg auf 141 Millionen GBP, während das Nettoverdienst nach Schuldenzahlung zurückging.

Burberry hat nach der Rückkehr zur Gewinnschwelle einen Umsatz von £49 Millionen erzielt. Der Konzern berichtete über eine Steigerung der Verkäufe um 5% im letzten Quartal und eine Überarbeitung, die £100 Millionen an jährlichen Kosten einsparen soll.

Für Burberrys Wiedergewinnung setzen sich Investoren auf den britischen Erbe und die Kunden der Generation Z ein. Die Kostenreduzierung soll erfolgreich sein, aber auch die Rückkehr zum britischen Erbe wird kritisch betrachtet.

Investing.com -- Die Aktien europäischer Luxusgüterunternehmen sind am zweiten aufeinanderfolgenden Tag gestiegen, da wachsende Optimismus über eine mögliche Lösung des Konflikts im Nahen Osten die Perspektiven für internationale Reisen und hochwertige Verbraucher ausgelöst haben.

Hermès, Kering, LVMH, Richemont, Moncler und Burberry haben alle Gewinne von zwischen 1,7% und 3,1% verzeichnet, während Swatch mehr als 7% gestiegen ist, was den Schweizer Uhrenhersteller auf einen neuen Höchststand seit Januar bringt.

Der Aufschwung spiegelt die Sensibilität des Sektors gegenüber geopolitischen Bedingungen wider, wobei Luxusgüterunternehmen unter den größten Begünstigten einer möglichen Entspannung im Nahen Osten stehen.

Kingpins Amsterdam 2026, held on 15 and 16 April 2026, brought together a range of denim industry professionals, including representatives from brands such as Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap, Urban Outfitters, Hugo Boss, Jack & Jones, and others.

Despite the decline in footfall, the number of companies present remained consistent with previous editions, Kingpins said.

Attendees explored new technologies, sustainable initiatives, and ongoing developments in denim production.

Kingpins CEO Vivian Wang said: “Retailers and brands are being strategic with travel budgets. Our highly curated exhibitor roster packs an extraordinary level of inspiration, innovation and meaningful connections into just two days.”

This year’s show hosted 100 exhibitors and featured expanded areas such as the Jeanius Hub, which supports startups and emerging businesses.

The Made in Japan section, centred on Japanese denim producers’ quality and craftsmanship, also returned to the show floor.

Kingpins Amsterdam 2026 also presented the newest entry in its Most Sustainable Product initiative, featuring recent sustainability-focused developments from exhibitors.

The collection, designed by Piero Turk and Serena Conti and titled “This Rebel Artist,” references 20th-century artists associated with rebellious themes. It was manufactured and finished by Asutex, using fabrics from Foison Textiles, HW Textile, Naveena Denim Mills, Neela by Sapphire, Prosperity Textile, Sharabati, US Group, and Vicunha. Labels were provided by Turtex Etiquette, and buttons, zippers, and rivets came from YKK.

Another initiative, “From ESSENTIALS to SPECIALS,” demonstrated water-saving technologies through collaboration between Denim House and Jeanologia.

The display focused on digital printing and laser applications to promote responsible production without reducing creative design options.

Wang said: “We’ve been in active conversation with designers, retailers, and brands — listening closely to learn how we can sharpen the experience for everyone who walks through our doors. The goal is straightforward: smoother navigation, smarter scheduling with the right partners, and enough breathing room to let the unexpected happen. I hope everyone who visits Kingpins will go home with something real: a fresh perspective, a connection that matters, a technology worth a second look, or an idea that quietly shapes what comes next.”

The event also included a tribute to Adriano Goldschmied, attended by his family, who met with friends and colleagues from across his career.

Story Continues

“Adriano always believed that everything we create should have a purpose and meaning. This was not just how he worked, but how he lived his life. So many people in the denim community reached out to share what he meant to them, and the mark he left over his career,” Wang added.

"Kingpins Amsterdam feels effect of fashion firms’ conservative spending" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.

Coty Inc (NYSE:COTY) is among the must-buy penny stocks to invest in now. Coty Inc (NYSE:COTY) is undertaking a strategic review of its consumer beauty business. However, the company told Reuters on April 16 that it was not in talks to sell its prestige brands. This was in response to a media story that Coty was looking to sell its Hugo Boss ​and Burberry brands to a Paris-based company called Interparfums. Interparfums also came out to deny that it was involved in discussions to purchase the Coty brands, according to the Reuters report.Why Coty Inc (COTY) Won’t Touch These Brands in Its Strategic Review

Under the interim CEO Markus Strobel, Coty is working on turning around its performance. This effort includes focusing on core brands like Hugo Boss ​and Burberry, which account for 69% of its sales. These brands are not part of the consumer beauty business under strategic review.

Coty announced the strategic review of its consumer beauty division on September 30, 2025. It said the review could lead to divestitures, spinoffs, or partnerships. Meanwhile, the company said it was committed to growing its prestige division through blockbuster launches as well as brand enhancements. The company also said that it was focused on strengthening its revenue and profit engine.

Amid the turnaround efforts, Coty recently refreshed its board. The company announced on March 18 that it had appointed five new independent directors. It said the new directors bring decades of industry expertise and leadership experience. Coty’s revenue rose 1% YoY to $1.68 billion in the December 2025 quarter.

Coty Inc (NYSE:COTY), headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is a multinational beauty company. It manufactures and sells skin care, hair care, nail care, fragrances, and cosmetic products. Coty was founded in 1904.
