Barclays initiated coverage on Wednesday of 11 stocks in the European luxury goods sector.
The bank said it’s a secular growth and high-quality sector that has been trading at all-time highs, but the recent de-rating presents a “buying opportunity”.
Barclays stated Swatch, Prada, LVMH, Richemont and Kering at ‘overweight’. Meanwhile, Hermes, Moncler, Mulberry and Burberry were started at ‘equalweight’. Tod’s and Ferragamo were started at ‘underweight’ .
The bank said its preferred names are Swatch and LVMH, while its least preferred is Tod’s.
