In the past, European luxury goods companies were among the stock market favourites. This year has been different.
US retailers had a strong start to the holiday shopping season. However, it is unclear whether the momentum will continue in the coming weeks.
The shares of the Swiss luxury goods group have lost some of their lustre in recent months. The dry spell is not over yet, but the price correction also opens up opportunities.
2023 has not been a veray exciting year on the Swiss stock market so far. The SMI® is up a good 3.5% (ytd), while the Swiss Performance Index®, which includes most of the remaining Swiss stocks in addition to the heavyweights from the leading index, is up about 6%. However, not all constituents of these indices can show positive performance. The shares of large corporations such as Roche and Zurich, as well as those of smaller companies, are trading below their prices at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless - or maybe because of this - favorable opportunities are emerging.
Uncertainty - translated into volatility on the stock exchanges - pushes prices down. However, for yield enhancement products that have a short option component, increased volatility can also be beneficial, as the option premiums collected increase with volatility: Higher coupons and/or lower barriers result.
