By Shares of Tod’s, the esteemed Italian luxury-footwear brand, experienced a notable surge after the company released its sales figures for 2023, surpassing market expectations and instilling confidence in its future growth prospects.
As of 0838 GMT on Thursday, the company’s shares were trading at EUR32.48, reflecting a substantial increase of 5.3%.
According to the preliminary data unveiled on Wednesday, Tod’s achieved total sales of 1.13 billion euros ($1.23 billion) in the previous year, an improvement from EUR1.01 billion in 2022. These figures also indicate fourth-quarter revenue of EUR298.3 million, which represents a noteworthy growth rate of 6.2% compared to the same period the previous year.
Market analysts had anticipated Tod’s to report sales of EUR1.12 billion, as per the company’s compiled consensus.
In addition to exceeding fourth-quarter revenue projections, Tod’s has expressed optimism about its future performance, as highlighted by Equita Sim analyst Paola Carboni in a research note.
Nonetheless, it is prudent to approach the brand’s long-term prospects with caution due to the industry-wide deceleration in growth rates within the luxury market. Furthermore, Tod’s ongoing investments in operational endeavors and its elevated exposure to Europe in comparison to its competitors pose additional factors for consideration, Carboni explained.
