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]
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]
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]
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]
Thursday, March 21, 11:47 AM Fresh data on sales of Swiss watches from the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry is keeping retail analysts busy. A sharp 18% drop in February sales for the sub-$200 category isn't great for either Fossil (FOSL -1%) or Swatch (SWGAY.PK) but pricing strength in the +$300 category bodes well for Tiffany (TIF -1.6%). The overall trend is slightly positive with strong European sales to tourists and strength in the U.S. helping to offset a slip in China. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
Thursday, March 21, 10:06 AM Harry Winston Diamond (HWD) says it received all required regulatory approvals for the proposed sale of its luxury brand diamond jewelry and timepiece division to The Swatch Group. As previously announced, HWD will change its name to Dominion Diamond Corp. upon closing of the transaction, expected later this month. Comment! [Consumer, Commodities]
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]
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, February 4, 7:07 AM Swatch (SWGAY.PK) reports that its profit rose 26% Y/Y to 1.6B Swiss francs ($1.8B) in Q4 as the company kept its margins moving in the right direction. CEO Nick Hayek says the firm expects to see double-digit growth in China as the Swiss watch market continues to move into new markets. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
Monday, January 14, 6:50 AM Swatch (SWGAY.PK) agrees to pay $750M to acquire the Harry Winston brand from Harry Winston Diamond (HWD). The Swiss company will also assume close to $250M in debt as part of the deal. Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX, M&A]
Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 7:24 AM Another anecdotal data point for those with an eye on the Chinese economy, Swatch Group's Chinese partner says sales growth of its luxury watches has slowed to single digits. Sales growth of low to mid-end watches remains in the "double digits." Comment! [Global & FX]
