June 15 (Reuters) - German fashion house Hugo Boss (BOSSn.DE) on Thursday raised its 2025 sales target, betting on strong demand across its markets. The company forecast annual sales of 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion) by 2025, compared to the previous target of 4 billion euros, which it expects to meet this year. Hugo Boss, which has undergone a brand revamp under the leadership of former Tommy Hilfiger head Daniel Grieder, is investing in marketing to boost sales and expand market share. It is also targeting an operating profit (EBIT) of 600 million euros by 2025, up from a previous goal of around 480 million, and an EBIT margin of at least 12% versus a previous forecast of around 12%. Hugo Boss shares were up 1.7% in early Frankfurt trade, topping the German mid-cap index (.MDAXI).

☆ Fashion retailers resilient despite consumer fears

Shares in H&M gained 6% as analysts forecast a stronger third quarter after flat sales from March to May. Bank of America analysts said H&M's sold-out collaboration with luxury brand Mugler could also help boost half-year earnings expected on June 29. Despite sales falling, it said its focus on profit per order was paying off. The online retailer, bruised by shoppers' return to physical stores post-pandemic, has cut stock by 15% since the start of the year and said it was removing unprofitable brands from its platform. "While cracks are clearly visible in the U.S. consumer environment and to a lesser extent in Europe, Hugo Boss has been immune so far," Citi analysts said.

The results reflect the recent trend of luxury shoppers indulging in lipsticks and fragrances even as they shun high-end purchases amid rising interest rates and product prices. Coty said a post-pandemic recovery in travel retail extended into the quarter. The company's prestige division, home to cosmetics and fragrances from the Hugo Boss, Gucci and Burberry brands, reported a jump of more than 30% in global travel retail sales across all regions. In contrast, peer Estee Lauder (EL.N) forecast weaker sales and profit last week, blaming slow recovery in travel retail, especially in Asia. Coty raised its 2023 adjusted per-share profit expectations to between 38 cents and 39 cents, from 35 cents to 36 cents earlier.
