Inter Parfums

Inter Parfums reports a 7.3% sales decline for H1 2026 (‑3.7% currency‑adjusted) and announces an operating margin of 19–20% for the first half instead of 23.2% in the prior year. For the full year the company expects a moderate sales decline to €850–870m, roughly ‑3% currency‑adjusted. Headwinds include the ongoing conflict in the Middle East (around ‑2% sales impact), a 17% drop in sales in Western Europe, distribution disruptions and currency pressure. The disappointing figures and the sharply cut margin outlook triggered a sell‑off; the share fell to €23.80 and is approaching its 52‑week low. » More on de.investing.com

Inter Parfums reported Q1 2026 EPS of $1.35 (expectation $1.23), a positive earnings surprise, while revenue of $344.89 million missed the $354.29 million forecast. Gross margin rose 140 basis points to 65.1%, driven by a favorable brand mix and improved inventory management. Brands such as Coach and Roberto Cavalli contributed to growth; Coach posted a 30% revenue increase. The company expects a stable gross margin for 2026 and is focusing on targeted brand extensions and smaller innovations, but sees risks from currency effects, geopolitical tensions and higher SG&A costs. » More on de.investing.com

Jean Madar reported an indirect sale of 20,000 Inter Parfums shares on April 2, 2026 for about $1.82 million, representing roughly 0.28% of his pre-transaction indirect holdings while his direct holdings remain unchanged at 10,500 shares. The sale aligns with prior periodic disposals and occurred as the stock is about 10% lower year over year. Inter Parfums reported record 2025 net sales of $1.49 billion and diluted EPS of $5.24, but operating income and margins compressed slightly, with management citing tariffs and higher promotional spending as headwinds. The transaction appears to be routine portfolio trimming rather than a change in confidence in the business. » More on finance.yahoo.com
