LVMH Faces Revenue Decline as Luxury Sector Struggles Intensify

The French luxury giant reported a 3% drop in Q1 2025 revenue, missed growth expectations, and saw its market value briefly surpassed by Hermès.

Overview

  • LVMH reported Q1 2025 revenue of €20.3 billion, a 3% decline year-over-year, falling short of analysts' expectations for slight growth.
  • Key divisions underperformed, with Fashion & Leather Goods revenue down 5% and Wines & Spirits sales dropping 9%.
  • U.S. tariff uncertainties, introduced earlier this month by President Donald Trump, have dampened consumer sentiment and complicated market conditions.
  • LVMH's share price dropped 8%, reflecting investor concerns, and Hermès briefly overtook LVMH in market capitalization, highlighting shifting dynamics in the luxury sector.
  • The company is exploring strategic measures, including increasing U.S. production, to mitigate the impact of tariffs and stabilize its business.
