Hennes & Mauritz Net Profit Beats Forecasts as Sales Pick Up
By Dominic Chopping
STOCKHOLM--STOCKHOLM--Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz posted a forecast-beating net profit for the fiscal first quarter as sales gradually improved during February with well-received spring collections.
"Our top priority is to strengthen sales, and our target of a 10% operating margin for full-year 2024 thus remains in place," said Chief Executive Daniel Erver.
The company said sales in the period between March 1 and March 25 increased by 2% in local currencies compared with the same period the previous year.
