== Macro Analysis and Trends ==
LVMH operates in the luxury goods industry. This industry is characterized by high-end products that are often handmade and of the highest quality. Luxury goods are typically associated with status and exclusivity, and they are often seen as a way to express one's personal style.

The luxury goods industry is a global industry, with markets in all major regions of the world. The largest players are LVMH, Kering (which includes brands such as Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Saint Laurent), Richemont, Chanel, Burberry, Hermès, Moncler, and Prada.

The luxury goods industry is linked to macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, political stability, and technological progress. Typically, growing economies, favourable exchange rates, low interest rates, and political stability positively impact the luxury sector.<ref>https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/state-of-fashion</ref>

However, the luxury goods industry has shown resilience in periods of economic downturns, and it is expected to deliver sustained growth in 2023, as high inflation and interest rates have a weaker impact on wealthy shoppers’ behaviour. To protect their image, luxury brand manufacturers favour high inventory levels over offering discounts. So far, inelastic demand has allowed them to pass on higher costs to customers, thus increasing their margins.

The industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, and it is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Looking ahead, this growth will be driven by a number of macro trends:

1.      '''The growth of the middle class in emerging markets''': The growth of the middle class in emerging markets is one of the most important trends in the global economy. By 2030 the global middle class, is expected to reach 4.8 billion people, that is 1.3 billion more people with increased purchasing power than today.<ref>Growing consumption | Knowledge for policy (europa.eu)[https://knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu/growing-consumerism_en#:~:text=By%202030%2C%20the%20global%20middle%20class%2C%20also%20termed,more%20people%20with%20increased%20purchasing%20power%20than%20today.]</ref> This trend is driving demand for luxury goods in emerging markets. Despite a disappointing first half of 2023, due to a stall in US sales growth. Jean-Jacques Guiony, CFO, has stated that the stall in US sales is due to favourable currency exchange rates, American tourists travelled to Europe to make their purchases.<ref name=":1" /> This can be explained as Europe advances 28% in Q4-2022, with market share reaching 24% up from 21% in 2021. China still represents the largest emerging market for luxury goods and Asia's economy rebounded in Q1-2023 where sales grew 14%, compared to a falling 8% in the last 3 months on 2022. <ref>UBS’s Credit Suisse challenge | Financial Times (ft.com)[https://www.ft.com/content/cdc1cf20-136b-4dd4-9232-d9bc89f49420]</ref>

2.      '''Generational trends''': Millennials are increasingly becoming the target market for luxury goods brands. This is because millennials have more disposable income than previous generations, and they are more likely to spend money on luxury goods. Additionally, “Gen Z” are expected to represent one-third of the market by 2030 and their spending is set to grow three times faster than for other generations until 2030.<ref>https://www.bain.com/about/media-center/press-releases/2022/global-luxury-goods-market-takes-2022-leap-forward-and-remains-poised--for-further-growth-despite-economic-turbulence/#:~:text=Global%20luxury%20goods%20market%20takes%202022%20leap%20forward,60%25%2B%20market%20growth%20to%202030%20...%20More%20items</ref>

3.      '''The growth of online shopping''': The growth of online shopping is another important trend that is impacting the luxury goods industry. Online shopping is making it easier for consumers to buy luxury goods from around the world. This trend was observed during the Covid- 19 global pandemic, due to the closure of retail stores.

4.      '''The demand for sustainable luxury goods''': There is a growing demand for sustainable luxury goods. This is because consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of luxury goods production. Even though, according to Bain-Altagamma, the luxury market is only expected to grow 3% to 5% or 6% to 8%, best case scenario, in 2023. <ref>LVMH’s Growth Was Challenged In Fourth Quarter: Is It A Harbinger For 2023?

[[File:Capture15.png|left|thumb|600x600px|Base Case, Bear Case, Bull Case]]     

In the following section, there are 2 valuation methods, the DCF model and the relative valuation. 

For the DCF model, the weighted average between the bull case, base case, and bear case obtained $1142.65 which has a 31.29% upside.

A simple 50% base case, 25% bull case, and bear case are used because of the uncertainty of the decision of the FOMC on the terminal interest rate. The new reported number on the CPI has back down to 3% whereas the previous number is 4%. If the FOMC does not decrease the interest rate in around September or November, the market will likely be looking at deflation instead. Although the non-Farm payroll has a strong number and a low unemployment rate, the participation rate is much lower than the average, which indicates that the unemployment is not accurately reflected. According to the backtesting research, whenever the FOMC decreases the interest rate, the transition from hawkish to dovish sentiment, resulting in a short squeeze of the stock market and then a big fall, the target is likely to be reached in the next few months when the interest rate is not likely to be increased. Also, for the growth rate, the function of (Estimated revenue in the last year which is 2027 divided by Actual revenue in 2018 which is the first)^(1/10) - 1 is used. The risk-free rate takes the US 10-year treasury bond yield rate. The Beta value takes the 5 Year monthly.


Looking at the numbers in the DCF model, for the base case, we assumed a constant percentage increase. The China PPI number is lower than expected, falling by 5.4 percent in June from the previous year, marking the steepest fall since December 2015. Despite the issue remaining from 2022, the revenue and profit numbers remain strong in the Chinese Market in LVMH. When this situation is relieved, the buying power is likely to be released and the consumer discretionary industry is more likely to be getting the attention. The number is likely to be higher than the prediction from using the constant percentage increase.



For the Bear case, the free cash flow to equity has a slight decrease from 2021 to 2022. Although the number remains much higher than in 2020, if the situation persists, the prediction from using the combined result from the free cash flow to equity and Net Debt to EBITDA is likely to be lower. Also. The free cash flow to equity has just turned positive from 2021, More data from 2023 is needed to check if the trends remain. Furthermore, the Japanese yield curve policy might change on the 28th of July. The Japanese currency Yen is usually borrowed and bought stocks in other markets, such as the US market. The cost would therefore be higher, the target return requires higher expectations on the trade and the market power is likely to be suppressed.


For the Bull case, LVMH and Google announced a strategic partnership to accelerate innovation and develop new cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in 2021. This creates new, personalized customer experiences that foster long-term growth. LVMH will be able to take actions to improve the overall business efficiency, from customer experience personalization to product development and logistics, on top of the current machine learning trend. Therefore, the earning number increased by 23%, taking the change from 2021 to 2022.

The bull case and bear case are calculated with the earnings in EV/EBITDA and Net Debt/EBITDA, and the Free Cash Flow Equity Yield based on their free cash flow, both earning price target and the FCFE price target are weighted 50% each. Throughout the calculation, we obtained the WACC of 13.33% and the CAPM is 14.08%, and the difference between ROIC% and WACC% is 5%. Furthermore, the CapEx has decreased by 10% every year since 2018, indicating that the company is investing its money in future growth. Due to the uncertainty of the predicted value of the CPI, we believed that the actual upside of the share price would be higher, because of the effect of lowering the interest rate for the first time in the third bull phase according to Dow's theory and the transition from hawkish sentiment to dovish sentiment.

For the relative valuation, firstly, its Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, and Beneish M-Score have the score of 9, 4.59, and not manipulator respectively, indicating that LVMH is not a manipulator on their financial reports. Secondly, The PE ratio is currently at 30.5, which is just above the median of its history of 24.71, the minimum value of 11.39, and the maximum value of 78.7. Although the PE ratio is ranked worse than 74.97% across the whole retail-cylindrical industry, LVMH has a huge increase in Revenue, EPS, and operating cash flow, indicating that LVMH remains undervalued if this trend continues. This prediction could be seen by looking at the PEG value, which has a value of 1.5. The median value in its history is 2.28, which is way lower than the maximum value of 5.65 in its history. Thirdly, the EV-to-EBITDA is currently at 16.89, which has a similar value to the medium of 12.85. Although it has a higher value than 10, it is significantly lower than its competitors in the industry, where Hermes International SA, St Dupont SA, and Maison Clio Blue SA	have the EV-to-EBITDA of 35.02, 124.72, 395.23, this indicating that LVMH is undervalued compared to the industry. The PS ratio is currently at 5.42, it is near to the medium for the past 10 years of 3.05, and has a similar number comparing to the industry, which is 4.5. This indicating that the LVMH stock is slightly undervalued comparing to its industry.

In summary, both the results from the DCF model and the relative valuation method indicate that LVMH is undervalued, compared to itself in history, the industry, and the potential growth using its free cash flow. LVMH has a potential upside of 31.09% upside.

== Competitors Comparison ==
'''LVMH Overview''': In 2023, LVMH reported a Q1 FY 2023 revenue of 21 billion euros, showing a significant increase of 17% compared to the same period in 2022. LVMH's strength lies in its high level of customer loyalty and diverse portfolio of 75 prestigious brands across various luxury sectors.

'''Richemont Overview''': Richemont, a key competitor of LVMH, reported a sales revenue of 19.95 billion euros in the first quarter of FY 2023. Richemont's focus on watches and jewellery, particularly through brands like Cartier, IWC, and Van Cleef & Arpels, has contributed to its continued growth.

'''Kering Overview''': Kering, another significant competitor of LVMH, reported a revenue of 5.077 billion euros in the first quarter of FY 2023. Kering's most prominent brand, Gucci, contributes significantly to its overall revenue. However, Kering has a weak growth rate of 1% compared to Q1 2022 suggests that its performance is not as strong as that of LVMH and Richemont.

'''Strengths of Richemont:'''

1. Focus on watches and jewellery: Richemont's specialization in these sectors has allowed it to become a leader in the industry, attracting customers who specifically seek luxury timepieces and high-end jewellery, and its emphasis on core businesses resonates well with customers who value the culture, history, and pioneer status in the industry.

2. Extensive collection of luxury brands: With 26 luxury brands and businesses in its portfolio, Richemont offers a wide range of options to cater to different consumer preferences.

3.  Richemont's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices in this year is highly attractive to customers and aligns with current policies and expectations.

'''Strengths of Kering:'''

1. Customer loyalty to specific brands: Kering has built strong brand loyalty, particularly with Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Saint Laurent. This customer loyalty contributes to a consistent customer base and brand recognition.

Weaknesses of LVMH in comparison to Richemont:

1. Less competitive in the jewelry industry: LVMH's presence in the jewelry sector is relatively weaker compared to Richemont. To capture a larger market share and increase profitability, LVMH should consider expanding its focus on jewellery.

2. Sustainability focus: Customers are increasingly concerned about sustainability, and products marketed as environmentally friendly have gained traction.

'''Conclusion''':

1. Richemont could be a big competitor: Based on the revenue data and performance analysis, LVMH remains the market leader in the luxury industry. However, it faces major challenges from Richemont, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. LVMH should focus on expanding its presence in the jewellery industry to compete more effectively with Richemont. Besides, The decision of Richemont to reject the acquisition proposal from LVMH could potentially impact Richemont's stock and attract more attention, particularly from investors who value the "more boutique in core business" mindset.

2. Geographical Factor: LVMH has a strong geographical presence in the Asia Pacific region, with most sectors and revenue generated from Asia in 2022. Particularly in China, where the Covid policies have allowed for reopening, the spending power of Chinese consumers continues to rise. The total revenue in Asia will be very significant in 2023. Richemont also generates a significant portion of its revenue from the Asian market. The 2023 total revenue in Asia Pacific of Richemont would be positive to be expected. On the other hand, Kering's performance has been negative, experiencing a decline of 7% from Q1 2022 to Q4 2022. The pace of growth was well below that of competitors.

Overall, LVMH's performance is expected to continue to increase, and there is optimism regarding its total revenue for 2023.

== Risks ==
Investing in any company, including LVMH Moët Hennessy, carries various risk factors. These risks should be carefully considered by potential investors before making a decision. Some risks specifically associated with LVMH Moët Hennessy might include:

# '''Economic Fluctuations:''' As a luxury goods company, LVMH's success is strongly correlated with the global economy's performance. During periods of economic downturn, consumer spending, especially on luxury items, often decreases. This could negatively impact LVMH's revenues and profits.
# '''Foreign Exchange Risk:''' Since LVMH operates worldwide, it's exposed to fluctuations in various currencies. If the euro strengthens against other currencies, it could reduce the company's profits when overseas earnings are converted back into euros.
# '''Fashion Trends and Consumer Preferences:''' The fashion industry is notably fickle, with trends and consumer tastes constantly changing. If LVMH fails to anticipate or adapt to these changes, its brands might lose popularity, impacting the company's financial performance.
# '''Regulatory Risks:''' As a global company, LVMH must comply with a wide array of regulations and laws across multiple jurisdictions. Changes in these regulations, including import/export laws, environmental laws, and taxation policies, could affect its operations.
# '''Brand Reputation:''' The value of LVMH's brands is one of its key assets. Any events that damage these brands' reputations – such as product quality issues, scandals involving brand ambassadors, or negative environmental or social impacts – could harm LVMH's business.
# '''Competition:''' The luxury goods market is highly competitive. LVMH competes with other large luxury groups, as well as smaller, more nimble brands and emerging digital-native brands. If LVMH can't maintain its competitive advantage, it could lose market share.
# '''Supply Chain Disruptions:''' LVMH relies on a complex global supply chain. Disruptions to this chain – such as those caused by natural disasters, geopolitical events, or pandemics – could impact its ability to produce and distribute its products.
# '''Intellectual Property Risks:''' As with many companies in the fashion industry, LVMH faces risks from counterfeiting and other intellectual property violations, which could harm its brands and its financial performance.
# '''Technology Disruptions''': The rapid pace of technological advancements and digital disruptions pose risks to the luxury goods industry. Failure to effectively adapt to evolving technologies, such as e-commerce platforms, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, could impact LVMH's competitiveness and ability to reach target customers.
# '''Sustainability and Ethical Concerns''': Increasing consumer awareness and expectations regarding sustainability and ethical practices pose risks to companies in the luxury goods sector. Failure to meet these expectations or address environmental and social concerns adequately may harm LVMH's reputation and customer loyalty.
# '''Dependency on Key Personnel''': LVMH's success is partly attributed to the expertise and leadership of key personnel, including executives and creative directors. The loss of key individuals or their departure from the company could disrupt operations, strategic direction, and the ability to sustain growth.
