LVMH Stock Drops 21.5% in Three Months and Approaches Its Lowest Point in 6 Years
The world's leading luxury player is retreating during trading, in a Paris market that is losing ground. The stock is moving away from the unprecedented low it touched at the beginning of the month.
A Decline of 2% Lagging Behind Other Luxury Stocks
The LVMH share is down 1.91% at €389.40 during trading, while the CAC 40 is falling 1.33%. The stock ranks among the stragglers in the index, ahead of Stellantis, Accor, and Airbus, which are declining more sharply. In the sector, Kering is down 1.89%, while Hermès is losing only 0.30%. Over the week, LVMH remains up 2.47%, which contrasts with a decline of 21.35% over three months.
The latest publications shed light on this context: third-quarter sales, published on October 12, show organic growth of 1%, with fashion and leather goods declining 5%. During these nine-month 2026 results, the group cited among the risks a slowdown in demand in China and foreign exchange effects, which were negative by 3% over the period. It also highlighted growth of 8% in watches and jewelry and market share gains for Sephora.

In terms of levels, the price is in contact with its 20-day moving average (€390.58), while it remains well below the 50-day moving average (€421.16), with a 7.5% gap. The stock is now only approximately 2.5% away from its support at €379.50, which it had broken on October 13 by posting a six-year low. Tensions on French debt, with a 10-year OAT around 4.79% according to the latest Bank of France survey, form the backdrop for the Paris trading session.
The group is also subject to a share buyback program: €2.4 billion have been repurchased over twelve months, representing 1.3% of market capitalization, according to the latest statement read, dated September 25. In terms of calendar, the €379.50 support remains the threshold to monitor for the stock.
