Tiffany profits sparkle as China’s demand for luxury rises

Tiffany & Co., which has struggled with online competition and lost its luster with younger shoppers, reported a quarterly profit that beat Wall Street’s expectations as shoppers in China snapped up the brand’s luxury goods.

The high-end jewelry company’s strength in its third quarter mostly came from the Asia-Pacific region, where sales surged 15 percent to USD283 million. This was mainly due to strong demand in China. Sales were up 5 percent in Europe to $110 million.

But other places didn’t fare as well. In Japan, sales dropped 8 percent to $139 million. While Tiffany managed to squeeze out a 1 percent sales increase in the Americas, that was considered a disappointment. The company said that a downturn in spending by foreign tourists was part of the reason for the soft sales.

Sales at stores open at least a year, a key gauge of a retailer’s health, dipped 1 percent.
