'Dior is the Top Relevant Luxury Brand Among China’s Generation Z, Report Says'


Another interesting finding from the report is that Burberry ranks relatively low in comparison to the strong rebound of its market recognition and sales in China. Earlier this month, Burberry’s first quarterly report presented a better-than-expected global growth, with its Chief Financial Officer Julie Brown highlighting the contribution from Chinese consumers.

The brand was only ranked 17th on the list with a relevance score of 4.7. The passionate score is also low at 5.9. That finding seems particularly counterintuitive given that the brand has frequently worked with the pop singer Kris Wu who has a huge young Chinese fan base.

“This might be related to its country of origin,” said Arnold. “Britain is not a country that is known for triggering creativity and playfulness, compared to France, for example.”

“What’s more important, Burberry is more perceived as an icon of fashion, not luxury, in China.”

Burberry retains lustre in China

Investors in Burberry (BRBY) received a welcome surprise yesterday when the luxury goods maker reported better-than-expected sales, up 4% in the first quarter.

The shares jumped 3.2% to £16.30 as investors welcomed the companies’ news that ‘top customers’ were returning to its products.

‘In other words, the Chinese are spending again,’ said Steve Clayton, who holds 3.6% of his HL Select UK Growth Shares fund in the stock.

‘Retail sales on the mainland were in the mid-teens and Hong Kong continues to improve after a tough patch.

‘This is an encouraging performance from Burberry, which looks to be at long last pulling out of the doldrums. With an acceleration in new product launches set for the second half of the year, the underlying progress at Burberry should improve steadily.’

Burberry shares jump 5% following encouraging Q1 trading update


........While we still maintain our ‘Hold’ recommendation on the stock, we would not discourage investors from buying on the dips for those seeking capital growth and willing to accept a medium level of risk.

What analysts think of Burberry's trading update....



Ken Odeluga, senior market analyst at City Index, said the increase in Burberry's share price reflects "palpable relief" after an "unexpectedly solid advance in first-quarter comparable sales growth and the most promising underlying trend in China for at least three years".

Odeluga noted that the 4% increase in comparable sales beat average forecasts of 2.3% and represented the "best sign of a potential group sales rebound for several quarters".

"Burberry’s newest ranges and leather goods were the stand-out products in the first quarter, reducing concerns among some investors about potential C-Suite tensions following the sideways progression of former CEO Christopher Bailey to a full-time creative leadership role.

"Leather spans all product ranges and accessories, Burberry’s highest-revenue category, which was also bolstered by the DK88 handbag range which sells for as much as £2,495 per unit, according to the group’s paid search advertising."

UBS said first quarter retail revenue beat its expectations by 2% while comparable sales growth exceeded its forecast of 2%.

However, the bank said there was risks to luxury goods copmanies, including terrorism, drastic political changes, pricing pressure, brand value, management execution and successor issues, perception in equity market about long-term growth, and foreign exchange rates.

Steve Clayton, fund manager of the Hargreaves Lansdown Select UK Growth Shares fund, said: "This is an encouraging performance from Burberry, which looks to be at long last pulling out of the doldrums."

But Clayton warned that reported growth will be held back a bit in the near term due to little new space being added and “brand control” in the wholesale channel later this year as Burberry attempts to massage its brand’s perception and positioning higher.

"But with an acceleration in new product launches set for the second half of the year, the underlying progress at Burberry should improve steadily," he said.
