Kering, the renowned luxury conglomerate that owns brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta, has recently made headlines with its strategic moves in the luxury market. On Thursday, the company reported a modest 2% year-over-year revenue gain in H1, ending on June 30, totaling 10.1 billion euros (approximately $11.1 billion at current exchange rates). The figures show steady progress, but the company faces challenges as it lags behind some of its competitors like LVMH and Richemont.
