What Compagnie Financiere Richemont does

Swiss luxury goods group owning jewelry and watch maisons including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Piaget.

Jewelry houses carry the group, selling mainly through their own boutiques, while watches also rely on wholesalers. It handed its online fashion business Yoox Net-a-Porter to Mytheresa in 2025 to concentrate on jewelry and watches. Johann Rupert keeps voting control through a separate class of shares.

In one line: A Swiss LVMH-lite focused on jewelry and watches.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
