EssilorLuxottica Q3 revenue rises 7.2% like-for-like, beating 6.3% forecast

The beat is broad-based rather than a single-region quirk, with North America — the group's largest market — also clearing expectations, which matters for a company whose growth narrative has leaned on that region. For eyewear and consumer-discretionary watchers, the like-for-like figure carries more weight than reported revenue since it strips out currency and acquisition effects, suggesting underlying demand held up through September. The open question is whether this momentum persists into the next quarter, particularly as North American consumer spending remains the swing factor.
