Kering Surges on Gucci Sales, Barclays' Profit Beats | The Opening Trade 2/10/2026
Better-than-expected sales at top brand Gucci sent Kering shares soaring as investors bet new Chief Executive Officer Luca de Meo will revive growth at the struggling luxury group. Shares in the luxury brand rose as much as 14% at the European market open, the most since 2020.
Barclays meanwhile said it will return at least £15 billion to shareholders through 2028 as it continues to work through a long-term plan to slash costs and improve profitability. Speaking about the United Kingdom, Barclays CEO CS Venkatakrishnan told The Opening Trade that "the country needs to move from being one of savers to one of investors."
