LVMH Q2 2025 Results Overview
In Q2, LVMH’s core fashion and leather goods segment saw a sharp drop in sales, falling 9% year-over-year. The decline was larger than analyst expectations and marked the steepest drop among all of LVMH’s business segments. This reflected continued weak demand for luxury products amid rising prices and economic uncertainty.
Overall, LVMH’s net profit dropped 22% year-over-year in the first half, while operating profit fell 15%.
Looking ahead, the company warned that a full recovery will take time as it faces an industry-wide slowdown, with softer demand from Chinese shoppers and ongoing uncertainty among U.S. consumers.
Wall Street Analysts Stay Bullish
Despite the lackluster results, analysts have maintained their buy ratings on MC stock.
Four-star-rated analyst Luca Solca at Bernstein reiterated his Buy rating on MC stock at a price target of €600, implying more than a 30% growth rate. Sola stated that the recent results showed effective cost control despite weak demand. He added that focus will now shift to how the company tackles its challenges and the potential impact on its business in the second half of the year.
Likewise, RBC Capital’s analyst Piral Dadhania maintained his Buy rating. He noted that while LVMH’s recent underperformance presents a “fairly attractive” risk/reward, it is supported by an expected near-term boost in Fashion & Leather Goods from easier comparisons.
Is LVMH Stock a Good Buy?
Overall, MC stock has received a Moderate Buy rating on TipRanks, backed by a total of 19 recommendations from analysts. It includes 10 Buys and nine Holds assigned in the last three months. The LVMH share price target is €566.09, which is 24% higher than the current trading level.
