Tiffany & Co. Profits Decline as Chinese Tourists Buy Less (Business of Fashion)
Tiffany & Co. sales dropped 4 percent in the Americas in the first quarter of this year. Recently the company said its profits took a hit due to a 25 percent decline in spending by Chinese tourists. This news, mixed with exported jewelry tariffs rising 25 percent, has caused the brand’s shares to fall 2.7 percent to $88.49. In related news though several luxury brands are feeling the burn from rising tariffs, Louis Vuitton is not one of them. The house is reporting “unheard-of growth rates” in China.
