Investors are focusing on the results of Kering (KER.FR) and Ferrari (RACE.IT).
Kering reacted strongly on the stock market (share price up approx. 14%) after publishing better-than-expected results for Q4, particularly at Gucci, and announcing an exceptional dividend of €1 per share following the sale of its beauty division. The results still show a significant deterioration: revenues fell, operating profit for 2025 declined by approximately one-third, the operating margin fell to 11.1%, and the group reported a small net loss from continuing operations. Gucci continues to record double-digit sales declines (–10% like-for-like in Q4), albeit slightly less than the consensus, while the better performance of YSL and Bottega Veneta offsets the weakness of other brands and higher one-off costs. Analysts emphasise that the report shows a “slight improvement”, but the key will be whether the new management can actually restore growth and improve margins in 2026-2027; more details are expected to be revealed at Capital Markets Day on 16 April.

Ferrari posted very strong results, both for the quarter and for the whole of 2025: earnings per share in Q4 (USD 2.49) and revenues (USD 2.098 billion) clearly exceeded market expectations, growing by approximately 9% and 13% year-on-year, respectively. For the full year, revenue reached €7.15 billion (+7%), EBIT rose 12% to €2.11 billion, and the operating margin rose to a very high 29.5%, with an EBITDA margin of 38.8%. Particularly impressive was the increase in industrial free cash flow to €1.54 billion, up 50% year-on-year, highlighting the strength of the business model and discipline in volume management. The company looks to the future with great confidence, targeting approximately €7.5 billion in revenue and an EBITDA margin of 39% for 2026, with an order book filled until the end of 2027, confirming the very strong demand for the Ferrari brand.
