RE: Price of gold8 Oct 2025 20:15
In the last reported financial year (first full one since Roberto acquisition) jewellery made up around 15% of sales. For that segment input costs will certainly be higher, have to assume they'll factor that into margins when pricing.
To what extent this will impact demand who knows, but these buyers less price sensitive than most. Higher prices also potentially offset by consumers specifically seeking out gold things that are more interesting than an ETF, driven by its inescapable hype.
Worth keeping an eye on Richemont for read across. Has same tariff headwind but also far higher proportion of revs from jewellery. Share price wise, despite everything it's way up this year. Most of the big European luxury names seem to be staging a comeback. WOSG tends to lag but if sector can brush all this off, can see this too standing decent chance of rerating, belatedly.
