WHAT TO WATCH

-- LVMH, which is considered a bellwether for the luxury industry, could report a deterioration in revenue trends compared with the second quarter, Equita SIM's Paola Carboni said in a research note. The sector context remains uncertain, she said. RBC Capital Markets analysts had expected an uptick in revenue in the second half of 2026, helped by a creative renewal at Dior, one of the group's heavyweight brands. But this will be offset by weakening economic trends as well as a softened luxury demand environment in the third quarter, RBC said.

-- The luxury sector's rebound in China might have to wait, as Chinese luxury shoppers have been hit by slower macroeconomic growth, putting middle-class consumers on the back foot, analysts at Bernstein wrote in a note to clients. "Chinese consumer confidence has yet to revive after a massive postpandemic step down," the brokerage said.

-- The industry also faces the consequences of the war in the Middle East, including the impact of the conflict on travel flows and higher oil prices pressuring consumers. The war in Iran is affecting both local demand and international tourism, as the Middle East is a key air connection point for Asian tourist flows to Europe, who are vital for the industry, Jefferies analysts said in a note.
