  • Board proposes dividend of SEK 7.10/shr (prev. SEK 6.80/shr).

Commentary

  • The quarter began in December with weaker demand following strong Black Friday trading in November.
  • Towards the end of the quarter our well-received spring collections contributed to a positive sales trend, which also continued into March.

Context

H&M's Q1 results show an operational profit that beat expectations, signaling some resilience in profitability amid mixed revenue numbers. While revenue fell short of forecasts, the positive trend in March sales and a proposed dividend increase reflect management's confidence and could bolster investor sentiment. Overall, the results suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook as the brand navigates seasonal demand fluctuations following a strong previous quarter.
