Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, The Stock Movers Report, your roundup of companies making moves in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg Data.

Speaker 2

Now, let's take a look at some stocks on the move today in Europe. I'm rach Evans with Caroline Hepka, and we're joined by Bloomberg's t adabiyou Tia. Let's start with Richmond. Results were out today. How are investors reacting?

Speaker 3

Well, it's really up and down actually for Rechemont. This morning. Some eagle eyed terminal viewers amongst you might have seen an earlier headline talking about how Richemont was climbing on this resilient demand for jewelry. But literally, as I was about to come in, there's another headline that's talking about how Reshwond's now falling due to a profit miss. So the earlier gains were driven by this idea of resilience.

Rechemont outperforming a lot of its peers in the luxury sector that seemed to be faltering, and that's despite its substantial Middle East exposure. To Analysts were saying that it's closed a volatile and generally downbeat luxury reporting season. But it seems that perhaps some analysts have looked a bit

closer at those numbers. Now it's down just under three percent, it's raised earlier gains, and that's after investors have really penalized Rechmore for an operating profit MYSS that was largely driven by currency headwinds. So a mixed picture for Rechmore this morning as the luxury sector deals with some headwinds more broadly.

Speaker 4

Yeah, okay, So from luxury to cosmetics, no deal or a cosmetic steel turns ugly if you really want a terrible bun. This is about we get estay Order.

Speaker 3

Yeah. So Pouter's down today, and that's after the collapse of talks about this proposed combination with esday Order. It would have created one of the world's largest fragrance and skincare companies. Shares punged fifteen percent on the news. That's the most since their twenty twenty four ips. It's a big reaction. But apparently this all fell apart due to the very famous makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury and her demands

regarding her own compensation in the deal. She had sold her company to Pooge previously, so both companies have issued statements saying that the discussions were over. That was yesterday. Neither have elaborated on the reason, so perhaps more to come there as we find out exactly what it was that tanked those discussions.

Speaker 2

All right, and there's also been a bit of news that Julius Behar, what's been going on there.

Speaker 3

Julia Julius Behar. Shares down this morning as following an earnings updates that analysts are saying is disappointing. They've noted weak inflows, a sizeable drop as much as ten point four percent today, and that's after some recent strong performance. Actually, shares gained nine percent year to day through Thursday, so

analysts are really focused on this question of inflows. KBW highlighted the weaker trends in net new money, but they also needed weakness in hiring and interest income, which could put pressure on shares. But there are some positives which have been called out, some improvements in CT one ratio, which supports expectations for future buybacks. So perhaps not all bad, but definitely a big drop for Gigi Spare this.
