Hermès International stock traded at 1,360.75 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:13 CET on Friday, November 6, 0.31 percent above the Xetra close of Friday, November 6. The move came as French luxury shares weakened and fresh scrutiny focused on LVMH's historic stake in Hermès.

Judicial review adds a new risk angle

According to Ad-hoc-news.de, a French investigating magistrate is examining how LVMH built its historic position in rival Hermès. The review follows allegations by Nicolas Puech, an heir to the Hermès founding family, and earlier reporting that prosecutors questioned LVMH executive committee member Jean-Jacques Guiony.

The inquiry concerns LVMH's conduct and does not change Hermès' operating guidance. For Hermès investors, however, renewed attention on the long-running ownership dispute adds a legal and reputational issue to an already uneven luxury backdrop.

Leather goods remain the growth anchor

Hermès' nine-month operating update through September showed leather goods and saddlery leading the portfolio, while watches and perfume faced weaker demand. Regional performance also diverged, with the Americas and Japan growing more strongly than Greater China and the Middle East.

The company has maintained its medium-term revenue-growth ambition at constant exchange rates. Its next scheduled milestone is publication of 2026 full-year results on February 12, 2027.
