Danish jewelry brand Pandora<\/a> on Friday posted a slightly weaker-than-expected rise in second-quarter sales and maintained its full-year outlook despite flagging continued weakness in China.<\/p>\n

Revenues rose 8% on an organic basis to 7.08 billion Danish kroner ($1.10 billion) in the three-month period, just shy of the 7.12 billion Danish kroner forecast by LSEG analysts.<\/p>\n

China recorded the largest decline in organic sales, down 15%, while the U.S. accelerated 12%. Pandora said performance in China “continues to be challenged” and announced an anticipated doubling of store closures in the country to 100 this year.<\/p>\n

The company nevertheless reiterated its full-year forecast for organic sales growth of 7% to 8% and an operating profit margin of at least 24%, including the impact of U.S. tariffs.<\/p>\n
