LVMH Stock Experiences a Decline of 8.19% Over the Week
LVMH stock ended last week at 546.90 euros, marking a decline of 8.19%. This downturn is part of a longer negative trend, with a drop of 11.62% over three months and 23.32% over one year. The period was characterized by the publication of annual results and adjustments in price targets by several analysts.
Annual Sales and Operational Results
The luxury giant unveiled its annual sales for 2025 on January 27, reaching 80.8 billion euros with a current operating income of 17.8 billion euros. The group maintained an organic growth of 1% in the fourth quarter, demonstrating some resilience amidst global economic and geopolitical turbulence.
These figures come as the luxury sector faces a slowdown in demand, particularly in Asia. Despite this challenging environment, the management highlighted the group's ability to preserve its operational margins in a less favorable environment than previous years. The general meeting is scheduled for April 23, 2026, while the detachment of the balance of the 2025 dividend will occur on April 30.
Adjustments in Price Targets
Two price target revisions were published on January 29 by financial institutions. UBS lowered its target from 725 to 706 euros while maintaining its buy recommendation, whereas Landesbank Baden-Württemberg adjusted its target from 655 to 620 euros, also maintaining its buy advice on the stock.
Technically, the stock is now significantly below its 20-day (605.27 euros) and 50-day (619.53 euros) moving averages, indicating strong selling pressure. The RSI is at 19, a historically low level that indicates a pronounced oversold condition and could suggest a short-term exhaustion of sellers. The one-month volatility stands at 11.13%, reflecting investor uncertainty in a sector facing structural headwinds.
