Aoris International Fund stated the following regarding LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

“LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne’s (OTC:LVMUY) revenue increased at an unusually rapid rate over the 2021 to 2023 period. The impact of this on LVMH’s earnings was amplified by an increase in its profit margin to levels far above its historical average.

While we initially believed the company could sustain its revenue and margins at this elevated level, after doing so for three consecutive years, a weaker than expected result in the March quarter led us to question these assumptions and hence our valuation.

We sold LVMH as its elevated earnings growth over the last few years creates a wide range of future outcomes and makes it di¢cult for us to value the business with confidence.”
