Summary
H&M reported second-quarter operating profit of 5.91 billion kronor for the three months through May, below the 6.3 billion-kronor analyst consensus.
Sales in local currencies fell 3% against expectations for flat growth, underscoring how intense competition and cautious consumer spending are complicating the retailer’s turnaround.
June sales are expected to be roughly unchanged from a year earlier, suggesting no immediate rebound after the weak quarter.
