Hugo Boss expects better Q4 despite weak China

Berlin

GERMAN fashion house Hugo Boss expects strength in Europe to help sales and earnings to a fourth-quarter recovery, it said on Tuesday, though it sees no immediate prospect of a pick-up in China and the United States.

The company said that its prediction for a better fourth quarter - the most important retail period because of the Christmas and New Year holidays - is on the assumption that sales at its own stores would remain stable or increase, based on the trend it had observed in October.
