Cartier owner Richemont’s sales surge fuels hopes of luxury turnaround
ZURICH (Reuters) -Richemont, the owner of Cartier jewellery, on Thursday fuelled hopes of a revival for the beaten down luxury goods industry, with end-of-year sales that exceeded expectations, sending shares higher across the sector. The company's robust performance over the all-important holiday season was seen as a signal that luxury sales may have turned a corner, even if Richemont mostly operates at the very high end of the market. The Swiss company's sales jumped 10% year-on-year to 6.2 billion euros ($6.37 billion) for the three months to end-December, well ahead of analyst expectations for a 1% increase.

UK's CAB Payments to cut 20% of jobs and focus on automation
(Reuters) -British money transfer group CAB Payments will axe about 20% of its workforce to cut costs and focus on investment in artificial intelligence and automation in the face of weak trading and increased payroll taxes, it said on Thursday. The announcement chimes with a broader trend of British companies cutting jobs, limiting hiring and increasing their reliance on technology after finance minister Rachel Reeves raised employer social security contributions and the minimum wage, leading to cost increases this year. The company, which provides foreign exchange and cross-border payments for more than 150 countries globally, has had a bumpy ride since its 2023 London market debut, including a profit warning, a CEO change and a takeover attempt.
