What: H&M posted slightly weaker-than-expected fiscal second-quarter sales.
Why it is important: Although Q2 sales were flat, the Swedish retailer prospects for a better third quarter after a strong start in June, sent shares in the retailer up by 6 percent.
H&M said sales measured in local currencies for its March-May quarter were “flattish”, compared with the average analyst forecast for a 1 percent gain, according to a Reuters poll. Net sales rose 6 percent to 57.6 billion crowns ($5.36 billion).
