A renewed wave of spending from Chinese consumers, coupled with steady demand in the US, is breathing life back into the global luxury sector.
After a challenging year marked by economic uncertainty and shifting consumer habits, brands like Richemont, LVMH, and Ralph Lauren are emerging as standout beneficiaries of this rebound.
Experts quote improving sales trends, strategic brand positioning, and resilient consumer behavior as key drivers.
With signs of stabilization in Asia and surprising strength in American spending, these three stocks are well-positioned to capitalize on the next phase of luxury growth.
Richemont (SWX: CFR)
Swiss luxury group Richemont is riding a wave of optimism following its latest earnings report, which beat expectations with €10.6 billion ($12.31 billion) in sales for the six-month period ending September.
In a recent note to clients, JPM’s senior analyst Chiara Battistini emphasized Richemont’s strength in jewelry, noting that Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels are “showing some of the best momentum.”
These brands have benefitted from rising precious metal prices – and continue to outperform even during market normalization.
With jewelry proving to be a resilient category, Richemont’s leadership in this space makes it a top pick for exposure to the Chinese luxury rebound.
A 1.75% dividend yield makes CFR shares even more attractive to own heading into 2026.

LVMH, the world’s largest luxury conglomerate, is showing signs of recovery after two quarters of decline. Its third-quarter revenue rose to €18.3 billion, with organic growth returning to positive territory.
Bank of America highlighted a notable improvement in Chinese demand, which jumped 13% from the previous quarter in its latest research note.
The company’s diverse portfolio – including Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Moët & Chandon – gives it broad exposure across fashion, cosmetics, and spirits.
LVMH also announced a strategic investment in Swiss watchmaker La Joux-Perret, reinforcing its commitment to innovation.
As Chinese consumers resume spending, LVMH’s scale and brand strength position it to capture a significant share of the rebound.
LVMH stock does not currently pay a dividend, though.
Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL)
Ralph Lauren is gaining traction as a global luxury contender – especially in the US market.
JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss praised the brand’s execution in a recent note to clients, saying it has done “a really great job” navigating a fragmented retail landscape.
With only 2% market share, Ralph Lauren has substantial room to grow.
Boss pointed to women’s apparel, handbags, and outerwear as untapped opportunities.
Meanwhile, the brand’s strong performance in menswear provides a solid foundation for expansion.
As Chinese demand recovers and US spending remains robust, Ralph Lauren’s blend of heritage and innovation makes it a compelling pick for investors seeking diversified luxury exposure.
RL shares also currently offer a dividend yield of 1.09%, making them even more attractive for income-focused investors.
