Vulcan Value Partners stated the following regarding LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:
“LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) is the largest luxury goods manufacturer in the world. It benefits from brand equity curated over decades with high quality, exclusive products that are instantly recognizable to consumers worldwide. LVMH owns a global portfolio of 75 luxury brands across various categories such as fashion, jewelry, wines and spirits, cosmetics, watches, and other goods. Its prominent brands include Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Tiffany & Co., and Marc Jacobs. LVMH’s founder and CEO, Bernard Arnault, has operated the business with a long-term mindset that should endure long past his tenure. After several years of above-trend growth, LVMH’s sales growth has slowed, and we believe its profits will decline marginally this year. We believe the company can compound its value at a low double[1]digit rate over our long-term time horizon. We have owned LVMH in the past, and recent stock price volatility has allowed us to buy this wonderful business with a margin of safety to our estimate of intrinsic value.”
