Aoris Investment Management stated the following regarding LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“In judging LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne’s (OTC:LVMUY) 2023 earnings to be significantly above normal, we made a commensurately large change to what we felt the business to be worth. Often as investors it feels more comfortable to make incremental changes to our estimate of earnings and fair value of a business, or to our assessment of its management quality and competitive strengths. We tiptoe to a change in view. Sometimes, though, we need to take a ‘logical leap’ and make a more profound change in our appraisal, and we did that with LVMH.

We exited LVMH in May after concluding that 2023 earnings were materially above normal. Over 2021 to 2023, LVMH benefited from a period of unusually strong demand for its luxury wares. The boost to LVMH’s earnings from this top-line growth was amplified by significant expansion in its profit margin, such that 2023 earnings were more than double what it earned in 2019.”
