Shares of Gucci-owner Kering pop 7% on reports Renault's de Meo to be next CEO

Kering shares were trading up 7.2% by 8:34 a.m. London time as investors and analysts cheered reports that industry outsider Luca de Meo was set to become group CEO. The French fashion house, which owns beleaguered brands Gucci and Saint Laurent, is embarking on the latest phase of its turnaround. Auto veteran de Meo’s departure as CEO of Renault was confirmed Sunday.Shares of French fashion house Kering popped 7% on Monday on reports that it has appointed industry outsider Luca de Meo as group CEO. It comes as the owner of beleaguered brands Gucci and Saint Laurent embarks on the latest phase of its turnaround effort.Auto veteran de Meo’s departure as CEO of Renault was confirmed Sunday, with the French carmaker saying in a statement that he was stepping down “to take on new challenges outside the automotive sector.”De Meo’s move to Kering was first reported by French newspaper Le Figaro on Sunday. Kering declined to comment on the reports when contacted by CNBC.Kering shares were trading up 7.2% by 8:34 a.m. London time as investors and analysts cheered the reports. Renault shares, meanwhile, shed 7%.“Brand management and marketing are [de Meo’s] forte, which dovetails with what the luxury industry does,” Bernstein analysts wrote in a note Monday.De Meo is seen as having a strong track record, having worked in the auto sector for over 30 years, including at Toyota, Fiat and Volkswagen. The Italian is largely credited with Renault’s turnaround during his five years at the helm, with shares up over 90% over the period.The challenges facing the luxury sector nevertheless loom large, with Kering among the biggest laggards as shoppers have fallen out of love with its star Gucci label. Kering shares have shed over 60% in the last two years, sparked by a series of profit warnings and designer changes at Gucci.Kering’s current CEO and chairman François-Henri Pinault, a member of the family that controls the group, has held the top jobs for two decades but is actively working on his succession, according to Reuters, citing sources. Pinault reportedly intends to split the roles of chair and CEO, according to the sources. It was unclear whether he will remain chair.Thomas Chauvet, senior equity analyst at Citi, commended de Meo’s turnaround of Renault, including his embrace of technological innovation and the brand’s elevation. However, he noted that the challenges of the prospective new role would be significant.“Execution of luxury brand turnarounds has become more complex, lengthy, costly, and far less public-market-friendly, reflecting consumer preference for top brands rather than those in transition and significant P&L disruption from greater investment commitment,” he wrote in a note.“There is still a considerable amount of work ahead at Gucci and Saint Laurent ... to rejuvenate both brands and generate a steady stream of revenue and cash flow for the group, which, if achieved, could result in significant multiple re-rating,” he added.

CNBC Daily Open: Financial markets seem to find their footing after digesting Israeli strikes

On Sunday, Israel launched a series of airstrikes across Iran. That marks the third day of violence between the two nations. U.S. futures were rose Sunday night local time, while Asia-Pacific markets climbed Monday.

Global Times: Cultural inheritance must touch the heart first

BEIJING, June 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunhuang, with its millennia-old heritage, is finding new life through the energy and creativity of young people. Over the past year, I've been involved in creating and performing in the National Theatre of China's (NTC) music drama The Summoning of Dunhuang. Through this process, I've come to feel deeply how a cultural summoning that began over 1,000 years ago can still stir emotions and spark connections today.My own journey with Dunhuang began in 2021, when I composed a song called "Feitian" (Flying Apsaras). I wanted to reinterpret the free, graceful spirit of Dunhuang's murals in a contemporary pop style. To my delight, listeners - especially young people - responded enthusiastically. Many commented that it was the first time they'd really paid attention to Dunhuang or tried to understand its art. That experience made me realize how urgently we need new, fitting "entry points" into China's traditional culture.I firmly believe that cultural inheritance must touch the heart first - and to do that, it has to feel personal. To bring young people closer to traditional culture, we should not present it in a rigid manner that makes it feel distant and unapproachable. Young audiences need to feel, "This is about me," "I understand this," and "I'm excited to engage." Only then will ancient traditions come alive again.That conviction drove me to join The Summoning of Dunhuang. In the play I portray two characters: Chang Shuhong ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
