Tomorrow (to be released on October 12 after the market closes $MC (-2,22 %) the Q3 earnings report. Since I’m already invested, I’m less interested in the short-term price reaction than in whether a sustainable recovery is on the horizon.
My key watchouts:
China: Will the recovery in demand continue?
Middle East: How significantly are geopolitical tensions affecting consumption and tourism?
U.S.: Will demand remain stable, or will we see further weakness?
Fashion & Leather Goods: Will Louis Vuitton and Dior return to a sustainable growth trend?
Margins: Will profitability improve sustainably, or will the pressure persist?
For me, what matters less is a single strong quarter, but rather whether $MC (-2,22 %) can grow organically again without sacrificing margins or the positioning of its brands.
