Francois-Henri Pinault, in his efforts to decrease Kering's dependency on the struggling Gucci brand, has inadvertently accumulated vast debts through a series of acquisitions amidst a declining luxury goods market. Kering's shares have sharply fallen, increasing financial pressure as they contend with competition from debt-free rivals like LVMH. With significant upcoming financial obligations and a rather unstable cash flow, the company risks further credit downgrades, complicating its plans to rejuvenate Gucci and invest in other brands such as Valentino and Creed.
