L'Oreal is gaining about 0.7%. Edenred, LVMH, Schneider Electric and Unibail Rodamco are modestly higher.
Hermes International is down 0.8%. The luxury fashion house reported a rise in revenue for the first quarter, helped by growth in all the geographical areas. For the three-month period, the company posted revenue of 4.129 billion euros, higher than 3.805 billion euros registered for the same period last year.
