Kering reported a 2% revenue decline in the third quarter of 2026, driven primarily by a 6% drop in Gucci sales to 1.291 billion euros. While jewelry revenue grew 12% to 239 million euros, fashion and leather goods fell 1% to 2.743 billion euros. Luca de Meo emphasized restoring Gucci's value as a priority, while CEO Romain Spietzer noted the group aims to double recurring operating margins by the decade's end.
