Cie. Financiere Richemont SA rose as much as 7 percent in Zurich trading after the second-biggest luxury-goods company forecast fiscal first-half profit to rise 20 percent to 40 percent.

Operating profit in the six months through September will probably also increase within that range, the Geneva-based company said today in a statement. The median of two analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg is for an 18 percent gain in operating profit.
