Gucci makes less money – level 2
13-02-2026 07:00
The owner of Gucci shared its sales results for the last quarter. The numbers looked better than people expected. This was the first quarter with a new boss, who wants to fix problems after years of falling profits.
Investors watch the company closely because debt grows, and Gucci’s old style is no longer attractive to many buyers.
The new boss says things are getting better. Sales fall only a little, and new bags help bring buyers back. Company shares went up when the new boss started.
Still, the situation stays difficult. The company is closing many shops and plans more cuts to save money. In 2025, the company made less money than before. The group now tries to work hard even though the market is slow.
Difficult words: quarter (three months in a year), profit (money you have after you pay all costs), debt (money that you owe to someone).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
