Hermes Shares Drop 4%, Weighed Down by Middle East Tensions

The saddler from Faubourg Saint-Honoré experiences a significant drop mid-session, in a CAC 40 heavily shaken by a resurgence of geopolitical tensions. The stock erases its early July rebound attempts and once again falls to the lower end of the Paris index.


Hermes Shares Drop 4%, Weighed Down by Middle East Tensions

A Drop that Repositions the Stock Among the Largest Declines in the CAC 40

Hermès International shares lose 4.09% at €1,573.00, among the steepest declines in the CAC 40. The Paris index drops 2.21% during the session, weighed down by a resurgence of tensions in the Middle East following American strikes against Iran and an Iranian counterattack claimed in Kuwait and Bahrain. The VIX jumps nearly 20% to 18.63, indicating a clear return of volatility in the markets.

The Parisian luxury sector follows suit, with Kering down 3.53%, Christian Dior by 3.06%, and LVMH by 2.84%. Today's drop erases most of the rebound that began last week, when the stock had gained 2% aiming for its 20-day moving average.

Today's decline brings the price 4.91% below its MM20 (€1,654.20) and 3.53% below its MM50 (€1,630.64), while the MM200 (€1,926.08) remains distant at 18.33%. The stock returns to its technical support identified at €1,564, the holding of which will condition the continuation of the movement. The RSI at 50 indicates a sudden shift towards neutrality, after the recovery attempts at the beginning of the month.

According to the consensus of analysts surveyed, the stock is trading at about 35.4 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year and 30.6 times those of the next fiscal year, a multiple that leaves little margin in a context of a fragile luxury market in China (jewelry and gold sales down 8.9% year-on-year in May according to the NBS). The next major event remains the publication of the half-yearly sales figures, expected at the end of the month.
