Hermès International (ISIN FR0000125452) stock is trading close to record levels after the French luxury group reported double digit top line growth and persistent margin strength in its latest quarterly figures for Q1 2026, according to data compiled from recent market and company disclosures as of 15 May 2026.
Revenue up 12 percent in Q1 2026
According to a compilation of recent Hermès financial disclosures for Q1 2026, the group generated around EUR 3.80 billion in revenue, representing an increase of approximately 12 percent compared with roughly EUR 3.40 billion in Q1 2025.
The reported growth continues the companys multi year expansion in sales, supported by sustained customer demand in key regions including Asia and the Americas, and underlines Hermès ability to maintain pricing power even as the broader luxury sector monitors macroeconomic conditions.
Operating profitability remains high

That performance translates into an operating margin in the region of 48.7 percent for Q1 2026, up from approximately 47.1 percent in Q1 2025, highlighting the companys focus on controlled expansion, selective store openings, and disciplined cost management.
