Sales at Hermès grew 6.7% at constant exchange rates to €4.1 billion in the second quarter of 2026, the company said on Wednesday, roughly aligning with analyst expectations. This marks a slight acceleration compared with the first quarter, driven mainly by faster growth in France, Japan, and the Middle East. By region, Hermès reported sales up 13.7% in the Americas; up 8.3% in Europe, excluding France; and up 6.2% in France. Sales in Japan rose 12.3%, and the “Other” region, which includes the Middle East, was down 2.4%. Dumas confirmed: “[Hermès] will reach a new milestone in its development with the presentation of our first couture collection in Paris in January 2027.”
