If you hold luxury retail stocks or are thinking of doing so, think again. With all the fears over a trade war, many luxury stocks look vulnerable. While Gucci owner Kering and Louis Vuitton owner LVMH look insulated, look out for weakness in Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Swatch. The first two look particularly weak because they are trying to regain traction with consumers at the same time as facing trade tensions (as opposed to Gucci, which is very hot at the moment). Most luxury stocks are currently trading at a premium relative to the market.


FINSUM: In our view, the brands that are already hot are going to stay on the shelves, but ones that haven’t been selling as well will be more impacted by trade tensions as wholesalers can more easily just stop stocking them.
