EssilorLux: sound performance in Q1 and April
Q1 sales unveiled yesterday reached EUR6.85bn (+7.3% FX-n), fairly in line with market expectations (BBGe: EUR6.85bn and +7.1% FX-n) as the group's strong momentum in EMEA offset a relative softness in North America. More importantly, management confirmed that April performed on par with Q1 across

In addition to the implementation of reciprocal tariffs, the Trump administration is also closing the Chinese de minimis loophole from 1st May onwards, which will considerably disrupt the business model of major platforms like Shein and Temu in the US. Although this new market paradigm could be wel

Tesco: Buy rating untouched after earnings recalibration
Post-FY, we have cut our sales, EBIT and retail FCF estimates by 1%, 5% and 8% respectively, to reflect price investments made YTD in the UK. However, we do not expect a full-blown price war with the need to further reinvest, and are pricing in the top-end of FY EBIT guidance. Consensus has recalib

US eyewear: black tariff clouds looming over consumers
In our last report a month ago ("Trumping tariffs"), we were relatively optimistic as Donald Trump had only added a 10% tariff on Chinese imports and implemented a 30-day pause on tariffs for imports from Mexico and Canada. However, the situation has darkened since an additional 10% tariff has been
