LVMH Stock Falls Below 490 Euros Ahead of Dividend Detachment
The luxury giant's stock falls over 2% this Monday, dropping below the 490 euro mark as the Paris stock exchange experiences a significant decline. This drop comes days before the group's general assembly scheduled for April 23, and the detachment of the final 2025 dividend set for April 30.
Current Trading Session Analysis
In today’s session, LVMH is trading around 488.95 euros, down 2.09% from last Friday's close of 499.40 euros. The stock is suffering in a declining Parisian market: the CAC 40 is down 1.13% at 8,330 points, while the SBF 120 loses 1.08%. The luxury sector in Paris is uniformly affected: Hermès International drops 2.24% and L'Oréal falls 1.21%. This movement contrasts with the more favorable tone observed in Asia, where the Nikkei 225 closed up 0.72% this Monday, and with the positive session recorded by the DAX, which is up 2.27% in early trading. Over the last three months, the stock has shown a significant decline of 16.1%, although its year-on-year performance remains slightly positive at +0.69%. The imminent financial calendar could fuel trading in the coming days. The April 23 general assembly will be an opportunity for management to detail its outlook, while the detachment of the final 2025 dividend, scheduled for April 30, is approaching.
Technical Analysis of LVMH Stock
Technically, LVMH's stock price is now well below its 50-day moving average of 500.57 euros and remains far from its 200-day moving average, which stands at 543.59 euros. This significant gap — nearly 55 euros below the MM200 — indicates a fundamental bearish trend that has not yet reversed, despite a partial rebound observed over the last seven days (+1.17%). Regarding Bollinger Bands, the stock is in the upper part of its band, 80% between the lower bound (446.02 euros) and the upper bound (499.50 euros), suggesting a potential short-term overbought zone. The RSI, at 59, remains in neutral territory without indicating any immediate directional excess. The most relevant support is at 455.75 euros, about 6.8% below the current price, while the immediate resistance at 505.80 euros is the next technical threshold to watch in case of a rebound.
