Cartier owner Richemont posts earnings beat as shoppers splurge on jewelry despite luxury slowdown
Richemont, Cartier’s parent company, reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, with revenues rising 7% year-over-year to 5.17 billion euros. This growth was primarily driven by its Jewellery Maisons, despite a decline in the watchmaking division due to weaker demand in Asia-Pacific, particularly China. Overall, full-year sales increased 4%.
