Hermès continues to grow, but regional and category differences remain central to the investment case. The company reported nine-month revenue of 12.3 billion euros on October 22, 2026, up 6% at constant exchange rates, according to the Hermès International release published by GlobeNewswire.

Growth Meets Uneven Demand

Third-quarter sales reached 4.1 billion euros, rising 4% at constant exchange rates and 6% at current exchange rates from the same period a year earlier. The Americas, Japan and Europe excluding France delivered the strongest regional momentum, while Greater China was stable at constant exchange rates and the Middle East declined.

Leather Goods and Saddlery remained the main growth engine, with nine-month revenue up 10% at constant exchange rates. Silk and Textiles advanced 7%, while Ready-to-wear and Accessories grew only 1%. Perfume and Beauty fell 1%, and Watches declined 2%.

Capacity Supports Long-Term Growth

Hermès said its artisanal model, balanced distribution network and collection creativity support its medium-term revenue-growth ambition at constant exchange rates. The company is also expanding production, with three additional leather-goods workshops planned in France by 2030.

The real-time quote of Hermès stock was 1,306.00 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:48 CET on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, 0.31% below the Xetra close of Tuesday, November 3. Compared with the 1,321.00-euro Lang & Schwarz quote in the November 2 report at 16:02 CET, the stock was 1.14% lower.

Investors' next fixed operating checkpoint is the publication of Hermès' 2026 full-year results on February 12, 2027, followed by first-quarter revenue on April 22.
