- Monday, May 20, 8:29 AM The flood of tourists into Hong Kong from Mainland China looks promising to global retailers setting up shop in the region, although the tilt towards more bargain shopping could be a trend to watch for high-end sellers. Outlet malls have seen the biggest gains in traffic and sales in Hong Kong which sets up nicely for retailers that planned a strategy which pivots on squeezing profits from the channel. Hong-Kong watching: Nike (NKE), Limited Brands (LTD), Gucci (GUCG.PK), Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), and Tiffany (TIF). Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, May 20, 6:56 AM Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on Michael Kors (KORS) with a Buy rating and a lush price target of $82. The investment firm sees strong earnings potential for the retailer in new channels. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, May 13, 7:23 AM Michael Kors (KORS) is added to Morgan Stanley's Best Ideas list to go along with an Overweight rating and $71 price target from the firm. KORS +1.0% premarket. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 2, 7:11 AM Retail sales in Hong Kong rose 9.8% in March to 40.2B HKD ($15.8B) to come in significantly slower than the 15% consensus forecast of analysts. By volume, sales rose 10.2% compared to the forecast for 14% and the 21.9% pace seen in February when the Lunar New Year holiday hit the calendar. Luxury sellers in particular are looking for strong sales numbers from Hong Kong. On watch: Gucci (GUCG.PK), Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), and Tiffany (TIF). Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 8:31 AM Luxury retailers plan to start using junkets to bring wealthy Chinese consumers to Hong Kong stores. The practice has done wonders for the casino industry in Macau and could help spur sales with luxury and import taxes in HK lower than on the mainland. High-end China sellers: Gucci (GUCG.PK), Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), and Tiffany (TIF) 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, April 26, 9:10 AM Luxury retail watch: If expensive apparel doesn't play well with Chinese high-end buyers, don't expect to see it in U.S. stores with the Chinese accounting for over 25% of the world's luxury market. An increased tendency in the U.S. for millionaires to dress down - instead of showing off opulence - is also factoring into the dominance of China. What to watch: High-end sellers such as Gucci (GUCG.PK), Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), and Tiffany (TIF) might become even more blatant with new designs on which market is the top priority. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 23, 9:48 AM Shares of Michael Kors (KORS +4.1%) are riding the back of Coach's strong performance in China in Q1 to greater heights. The read-through: The retailer has steadily cut into Coach's market share so word from its rival that sales are above expectations could bode well for the handbag category in general and could tip off a boost in luxury spending. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, April 22, 1:57 PM Coach (COH -0.9%) could see some more pressure from Michael Kors (KORS -2.3%) as the retailer introduces more luggage and accessories aimed at Coach's target buyer. The development could create another obstacle in Coach's quest to grow sales in North America. On tap: Coach's FQ3 earnings will be released tomorrow with comparable-store sales and direct-to-consumer sales in focus. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, April 15, 1:29 PM The LVMH read-through to luxury stocks: The LVMH report is consistent with the latest batch of retail sales data from China which indicates solid growth is still out there - but just not at the frothy levels of years past. An important trend to watch is that demand in Europe is getting considerable support from the steady string of tourists pouring in from China which magnifies the impact that Chinese consumers have on the sector. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, April 15, 6:52 AM China retail sales rose 12.6% Y/Y in Q1 to 5.5451T yuan ($887.22B), according to government data. The pace of growth was a slight improvement over last month's mark and slightly beat estimates but a crackdown on corruption appears to be having an impact on luxury spending and could affect companies in the sector. On watch: EL, RL, COH, KORS, WRC, LVMHF.PK, GUCG.PK. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Friday, March 22, 9:05 AM An improved outlook from Tiffany (TIF) on sales in Asia follows upbeat projections from other high-end sellers such as Swatch and Coach for the region. Following a familiar pattern of other global luxury sellers, a high percentage of Tiffany's new stores are planned for Asia. Asia luxury watch: Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), Estee Lauder (EL). 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 19, 9:09 AM The outlook for luxury spending in China looks promising, according to analysts. While the pace of luxury retail sales growth slipped in China from 2011 to 2012, the forecast for 2013 is for solid gains again. Chinese tourists taking advantage of a weak euro is also a factor. Luxury stocks to watch: Prada, Louis Vuitton (LVMUY.PK), Coach (COH), Ralph Lauren (RL), Michael Kors (KORS), Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Burberry (BURBY.PK), Estee Lauder (EL). Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, March 11, 10:10 AM OTR Global warns sales at Michael Kors (KORS -4.6%) appear to be decelerating. Shares are also feeling a tug from a report on China's retail sales which came in below estimates. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, March 11, 9:06 AM China retail sales grew 12.3% in the January to February period, below the estimate of analysts which called for a 13.8% gain. The downtick could be one of the first signs that a government crackdown on lavish spending by government bigwigs may actually register on the sales needle. On watch: EL, RL, COH, KORS, WRC, LVMHF.PK, GUCG.PK. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 7, 10:40 AM China-based fund manager Scilla Huang-Sun thinks luxury brands in China can hold their own as the number of millionaires in the region continues to rise despite whether or not the nation's overall growth rate is in the single digits. Though the ride is sure to be bumpy, high-end sellers with a strong brand should prosper. Her favorite sector pick is Prada. Others to watch in China: Swatch (SWGAY.PK), Estee Lauder (EL +0.1%), Richemont (CFRUY.PK), Michaek Kors (KORS -2.3%), Coach (COH -0.8%), Ralph Lauren (RL +0.6%), Burberry (BURBY.PK). Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, March 4, 7:29 AM Sterne Agee becomes the latest firm to see valuation an issue with Michael Kors (KORS) as it initiates coverage with a tepid Neutral rating, while starting off rival Coach (COH) as a Buy. Comment! [Consumer]
