Hermes reported a 5.5% rise in third-quarter sales, supported by strength in its leather goods division and robust demand from the Americas. According to reports from Free Malaysia Today, sales growth of 4.3% in certain segments was slightly below the 5.2% expected by analysts due to challenging market conditions in China.
The performance reflects a slowdown in Chinese demand which impacted ready-to-wear and accessories, while the leather goods segment provided a resilient offset. This comes as recent economic data from China on October 19, 2026, showed retail sales grew by 1.1% year-on-year, exceeding the 0.5% forecast despite broader pressures in the consumer sector.
