The luxury goods industry is preparing for a substantial decline in sales, attributed to China&#8217;s subdued demand and challenging comparisons with the sales spike following the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
What Happened: Investors are bracing for a sharp fall in sales as luxury brands reveal their Q1 results. The anticipated decline is linked to weak demand from China, and Reuters reported that compared with last year, when COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in mainland China, a sales surge was resulting.
LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), the world&#8217;s largest luxury conglomerate, will be the first to announce results on Apr. 16, followed by competitors Kering (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPRUF#OTC">PPRUF</a>), Prada (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRDSY#OTC">PRDSY</a>), and Hermes International (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HESAF#OTC">HESAF</a>) a week later. Burberry Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURBY#OTC">BURBY</a>) and Compagnie Financière Richemont SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFRUY#OTC">CFRUY</a>) will report in May.

A surprise warning from Kering last month that Q1 sales would be down by 10% rather than the expected 3% has already cast a pall over the reporting season. The group attributed the sales slump in Asia to its star label, Gucci. This underperformance has sparked worries that other luxury fashion labels might struggle in China.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a lasting crisis and we don&#8217;t know where things are heading,&#8221; said Olivier Abtan, a consultant with AlixPartners. He characterized the slump as unparalleled, stating that &#8220;all growth engines have been off for a number of quarters.&#8221;
HSBC analysts have also observed that Chinese tourists in Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore appear to be spending less. This uncertainty impacts the valuation of companies like Kering, which is trailing its competitors.
Why It Matters: The luxury sector&#8217;s outlook is clouded by geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties in China. The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, recently warned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38138081/janet-yellen-threatens-beijing-with-us-sanctions-standing-in-mainland-china-if-they-assist-russia-in">Chinese banks and exporters</a> against aiding Russia's military capacity, citing potential sanctions. This development could further dampen China&#8217;s economic prospects and impact the luxury sector.
Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38135736/biden-set-to-warn-beijing-as-china-philippines-feud-over-world-war-2-era-ship-in-south-china-sea-und">tensions are escalating</a> in the South China Sea, with President Joe Biden expected to express serious concerns over China's increasing activities in the region. These geopolitical issues, coupled with the ongoing economic challenges, are likely to impact further consumer sentiment and spending in China, a key market for luxury brands.

Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton Brace For Sales Slump As China's Economic Turbulence Hits Luxury Market

Amid efforts to expand the Hang Seng Index, Hong Kong&#8217;s stock benchmark, Prada (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRDSY#OTC">PRDSY</a>), XPeng (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), and BeiGene (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGNE#NASDAQ">BGNE</a>) are anticipated to be included. The potential addition of foreign companies may signal a significant shift in the global market and boost the city&#8217;s stock market representation.
What Happened: The Hang Seng Index is expected to include more foreign companies and electric vehicle (EV) firms in its upcoming quarterly review, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-15/prada-xpeng-and-beigene-may-join-hong-kong-s-stock-benchmark">reported</a>. The review results are due to be announced on Friday by Hang Seng Indexes Co.
Analysts have suggested that Chinese EV manufacturer XPeng Inc. and foreign companies listed in Hong Kong, including Prada SpA, could be among the potential candidates for inclusion in the stock benchmark.

Rebecca Sin, from Bloomberg Intelligence, believes that adding foreign stocks to the index could encourage more global companies to consider listing in Hong Kong. This development comes at a time when the city is grappling with a declining market. The Hang Seng index has witnessed a more than 6% drop this year, following its fourth consecutive annual loss in 2023. The healthcare sector, which remains significantly underrepresented with a market cap coverage of less than 50%, may also see additions such as BeiGene Ltd. and Innovent Biologics Inc.
Why It Matters: The potential inclusion of foreign companies in the HSI comes at a time when Hong Kong&#8217;s stock market is facing challenges due to various factors, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/02/37118497/us-inflation-fears-roil-asia-pacific-markets-nikkei-kospi-asx-200-slide-hang-seng-bucks-trends">U.S. inflation fears roiling Asia-Pacific markets</a>. This move could potentially boost the market&#8217;s global appeal, especially amid the backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37118013/emerging-markets-guru-says-time-to-go-shopping-for-hidden-gems-at-a-steal-as-he-see">underperforming Chinese and Hong Kong markets</a>, which some experts see as offering potential investment opportunities.
The move also reflects the growing significance of the Hong Kong stock market as a listing destination, a trend that has been underscored by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37049954/nvidias-1-7-trillion-market-cap-surpasses-entire-chinese-stock-market-investment-strategist">historic market valuation of NVIDIA Corporation</a> which equaled the entire Chinese stock market in early February. This development could potentially further elevate Hong Kong&#8217;s status as a global financial hub.

Hang Seng Index Set For Global Expansion With Prada, XPeng, And BeiGene On The Horizon

Kering SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPRUF#OTC">PPRUF</a>), the parent company of the luxury brand Gucci and Balenciaga, has <a href="https://www.kering.com/en/news/acquisition-of-prestigious-fifth-avenue-property-in-new-york-city/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">purchased</a> a tower on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/23/11/35939542/global-confidence-in-u-s-real-estate-international-investors-bet-big-on-u-s-real-estate-resilience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manhattan&#8217;s Fifth Avenue for $963 million.</a>
The property, totaling approximately 115,000 sq. ft, or 10,700 sq. m., is located at 715-717 Fifth Avenue, on the Southeast corner of 56th Street.
This investment represents an additional capacity in Kering&#8217;s selective real estate plan to secure key highly desirable locations for its Houses.
In addition to recently acquired prime properties on Avenue Montaigne and Rue de Castiglione in Paris, the Group&#8217;s portfolio includes landmark assets in Tokyo&#8217;s Omotesando and the Hôtel de Nocé housing Boucheron&#8217;s Paris flagship.&nbsp;
In line with its longstanding financial strategy, Kering said it intends to execute a disciplined and flexible approach with regard to the management of its real estate portfolio.
The purchase represents one of the newest enormous New York City real estate deals by an international luxury firm, per a news&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-22/gucci-owner-buys-nyc-building-on-fifth-avenue-for-963-million?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>&nbsp;by Bloomberg.
Kering and other entities opt to acquire buildings in New York rather than leasing space, following a trend highlighted by&nbsp;Prada S.p.A.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRDSY#OTC">PRDSY</a>) recent $835 million expansion on Fifth Avenue, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-22/prada-plots-major-nyc-expansion-with-pair-of-building-purchases?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;by Bloomberg last month.
