Vandalism and looting affected several luxury retailers in Paris and other major French cities over the weekend, including Hermès, amid demonstrations against rising living costs. The unrest has raised concerns about the impact on France’s appeal as a leading destination for tourism and luxury shopping.
Hermès is scheduled to release its financial results on Tuesday. Investors will be watching for comments on the recent disruptions and broader luxury-market demand, particularly signs of softness in China and the Middle East.
Hermès shares are in a bear market, having fallen significantly from their peak last year, in line with other major luxury-sector players.
