China slowdown concerns dim Ray-ban maker EssilorLuxottica's
EssilorLuxottica shares fell Friday due to a decline in China business that overshadowed the overall better-than-expected sales for the French-Italian-owned eyewear company.
The company, which produces sunglasses and spectacle frames in Versace and Prada, reported that its sales were "deteriorating" in mainland China due to coronavirus cases. It stated that about three quarters of its locations had been affected by COVID-related closures and subdued footfall.
