Richemont, the Swiss luxury goods group, reported better-than-expected sales results for the latest quarter, driven by strong demand for jewelry in the United States. The company’s overall sales rose 4% year-on-year, surpassing analyst forecasts.
The jewelry division, which includes brands like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, saw a 6% increase in sales, with the US market contributing significantly. The Americas region posted a 10% sales jump, led by robust consumer spending on high-end jewelry and watches.
Analysts noted that Richemont’s performance highlights the resilience of the luxury jewelry sector, particularly in the US, where affluent consumers continue to invest in high-value pieces despite broader economic uncertainties.
