In the third quarter of 2025/26 (as at the end of December), sales rose by 4 percent to 6.4 billion euros, as Richemont announced on Thursday. In local currencies, sales even increased by 11 percent.
This is more than in the record quarter of the previous year, when the Geneva-based company achieved +10 percent. Analysts had expected an average increase in organic growth of just 8.3 percent.
The jewelry business with the flagship brand Cartier remained strong (+14% at constant currencies), while the watch business with brands such as IWC also increased (+7%).
Richemont does not publish profit figures for the third quarter. As usual, the luxury goods group also did not provide a concrete outlook for the full year 2025/26.
