周大福珠寶
許多投資者也許不熟悉周大福珠寶集團，但事實上它是世界上市值最大的純珠寶商。
澳門日報報道稱，由于香港和澳門需求疲軟，以及中國內地經濟增速放緩，周大福上半年利潤為2015驟降42%。
截至九月的前6個月，周大福的銷售凈收入下跌至1.56億港元（2010萬美元）。而在一年前，該公司的同期銷售凈收入為2.69億港元。六個月期銷售額同比下降4.1%，至2.81億港元，而同店銷售額下跌百分之18%，而中國大陸則下跌0.1%。
該公司早在十一月已經提醒投資者，由于在香港和澳門市場的疲軟和下滑，以及不利的銷售組合的毛利率較低的黃金產品虧損；可能達不到預期利潤。
Many investors are unfamiliar with the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, but it is in fact the world's largest publicly traded jewelry chain.
The company reported its first half profit for 2015 plunged 42 percent due to weak demand in Hong Kong and Macau and an economic slowdown, Macau Daily Times noted.
Chow Tai Fook's net income fell to HK$1.56 billion ($201 million) for the six-month period ending in September. In the same period a year ago, the company's net income was HK$2.69 billion. Sales for the six-month period fell 4.1 percent from a year ago to HK$28.1 billion, while same-store sales fell 18 percent in Hong Kong and Macau, but rose 0.1 percent in mainland China.
The company warned investors back in early November that its profits are expected to decline due to the weakness in Hong Kong and Macau, along with an unfavorable sales mix of lower-margin gold products and unrealized hedging losses.
Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany獲勝的市場，周大福慘敗？
Tiffany & Co.本周二報告了其第三季度業績。
對亞太地區的業績，Tiffany公司表示，第三季度總銷售額增長6%，可比店面銷售額增長了2%；總銷售額及可比店面銷售額同比分別上升6%和4%。
按固定匯率計算，Tiffany表示“盡管香港和澳門地區銷售再次出現下降，中國地區的整體銷售在健康增長。“

Tiffany同時還公布了一項總銷售額和可比店面在日本的銷售增長（按匯率中間價）: 分別增長34%和24%。
據彭博社報道，Tiffany在日本獲得的顯著增長，是因為其搶吃了“周大福的早餐”——經驗豐富的Tiffany搶先贏得了中國游客。
彭博社同時還指出，中國本土品牌在中國消費者的心目中沒有“特別好”的品牌信譽（中國消費者更傾向于選擇國際奢侈大牌 - 譯者注），這也可解釋為什么Tiffany取得成功的地區而周大福卻被冷落。
Is Tiffany Winning Where Chow Tai Fook Is Failing?
Is Tiffany Winning Where Chow Tai Fook Is Failing?
Tiffany & Co. reported its third quarter results on Tuesday. Commenting on the Asia-Pacific region, the company said that total sales rose 6 percent in the third quarter and comparable store sales rose 2 percent. Total sales and
comparable store sales in the year-to-date period rose 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively.
On a constant-exchange-rate basis, Tiffany said that it saw "healthy sales growth" in China, but sales declined again in Hong Kong and Macau.
Tiffany also announced a total sales and comparable store sales growth in Japan of (FX-neutral) of 34 percent and 24 percent, respectively. According to a report by Bloomberg, Tiffany is "eating Chow Tai Fook's breakfast" as Chinese tourists accounted for a "significant" portion of the growth Tiffany experienced in Japan.
Bloomberg also noted that Chinese goods don't have a "particularly good" reputation among Chinese shoppers, which might also explain why Tiffany is seeing success in a region where Chow Tai Fook "should be cleaning up."
