French luxury conglomerate Kering reported first-half 2026 revenue of €72.2 billion on July 28, marking a 1% year-over-year increase, with the second quarter delivering the group's first positive quarterly growth in three years [1]. Second-quarter sales reached €36.52 billion, up 2% compared to the prior year [1]. The turnaround reflects new CEO Luca Delmeo's "Reimagine Kering" strategic initiative, which repositions China as an innovation hub for the entire group rather than merely a market [1].
Under the restructuring plan, Kering aims to more than double its operating margin rate within the medium term relative to 2025 levels, reduce inventory by approximately €10 billion within 12 months, and close around 250 stores over the next four years, with at least 100 closures planned for 2026 [1]. The group's Gucci brand showed improvement in the quarter, with revenue of €1.41 billion and a narrowed decline of 2% compared to an 8% drop in the first quarter [1]. The total number of directly operated stores stood at 1,635, with a net closure of 84 stores during the first half [1].
Artificial intelligence plays a central role in Kering's transformation strategy. The company has developed a proprietary mobile AI tool capable of automatically extracting multi-channel data and integrating it into smartphone terminals [1]. Delmeo emphasized this direction, stating: "China has never been just a market. It is the source driving innovation for our entire group" [1]. The group views AI as an enabling tool to drive technological innovation and operational optimization across the luxury goods industry [1].
