Kering S.A. (FR0000121964) continues to work through its multi-year turnaround as the luxury group tries to stabilize Gucci and close the profitability gap to peers such as LVMH and Hermes. The stock remains well below its 2021 peak on Euronext Paris while analysts reassess earnings expectations, as recent commentary from broker research and market reports highlights.
What recent reports show
Kering has already flagged a marked earnings reset for 2024 after several profit warnings linked to weaker Gucci sales and restructuring expenses, as highlighted in recent quarterly results on its investor-relations pages. The company’s finance publications detail lower like-for-like revenue and margin pressure at Gucci over the past quarters.
The group is pushing a creative and commercial relaunch at Gucci under creative director Sabato De Sarno, with first collections in stores and management signaling a gradual build-up of new product penetration. Kering has also announced cost measures and portfolio adjustments, including a stronger focus on high-margin houses such as Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta, moves that aim to rebuild group operating margins over the medium term.
How analysts frame the luxury outlook
On the sell-side, several international investment banks have in recent months discussed a two-speed luxury market, with ultra-high-end players like Hermes and parts of LVMH showing more resilience than brands more exposed to aspirational buyers. Recent notes cited by financial media signal that many analysts rate Kering at Neutral or Hold, with target prices that still imply upside from current levels but with clear execution risk flagged for the Gucci turnaround.
Market commentary from global outlets such as Reuters and Bloomberg regularly points to softer demand from Chinese consumers and a normalization in the US following post-pandemic strength, both key regions for Kering. These reports stress that investors closely watch monthly luxury spending indicators and peer results to gauge when Gucci’s new collections start to translate into a sustained sales and margin recovery.
