Description: MC LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis
LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton (ticker MC) is a globally diversified luxury conglomerate that operates through four primary divisions: Wines & Spirits, Fashion & Leather Goods, Perfumes & Cosmetics, and Watches & Jewelry, complemented by selective retail, media, hospitality, and other premium services.
The Wines & Spirits portfolio includes iconic labels such as Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon, Hennessy, Veuve Clicquot, and Château dYquem, while the Fashion & Leather segment houses flagship houses like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Celine, and Loro Piana. The Perfumes & Cosmetics division features brands such as Christian Dior Parfums, Guerlain, Benefit Cosmetics, and Fenty Beauty, and the Watches & Jewelry arm comprises Bvlgari, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Tiffany & Co., and Zenith.
Beyond core luxury goods, LVMH runs selective retail chains (Sephora, DFS, 24S), media properties (Les Echos, Le Parisien), high-end yachting (Feadship), and hospitality assets (Cheval Blanc, Belmond), illustrating its strategy of owning the full luxury experience ecosystem.
Founded in 1365 and headquartered in Paris, France, LVMH is the world’s largest luxury group by revenue, with a market-leading presence across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
Recent performance highlights include FY 2023 revenue of €79.2 billion and an operating margin of roughly 19%, driven largely by double-digit growth in Asia-Pacific (≈12% YoY) and resilience in the “see-now-buy-now” e-commerce channel, which now accounts for ~15% of total sales. A key sector driver is sustained high-net-worth consumer spending, while a material risk remains the company’s exposure to foreign-exchange fluctuations, particularly the euro-dollar pair.
