LVMH 2026 H1 results amid Middle East conflict

Entities: Louis Vuitton · Bernard Arnault · LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE · Dior · LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton

Overview

LVMH’s first‑half 2026 revenue stood at €38.6 billion, a 3 % year‑on‑year decline, reflecting a challenging geopolitical environment, notably the conflict in the Middle East. Operating profit was €8.7 billion, delivering a 22.5 % margin, while net profit remained €5.7 billion, about €0.5 billion below analysts’ expectations. Organic revenue grew 3 % in Q2 and would have risen 4 % if the conflict’s impact were excluded. The performance was buoyed by strong sales at Christian Dior, new Louis Vuitton stores in Beijing and Seoul, and continued growth in the Tiffany & Co. and Bvlgari lines, alongside higher sales of Sephora, champagne and cognac. The fashion and leather‑goods segment added 1 % to €8.9 billion, ending a multi‑quarter decline, while watches‑and‑jewellery grew 11 % on the back of its high‑margin brands. The group’s share price remains about 50 % below its 2023 peak, though analysts see upside from stabilising demand in the United States and early recovery signs in China and Europe. Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits, an LVMH subsidiary, reported a 3 % revenue drop to €84 million, with a modest Q2 rebound driven by French gastronomy sales and new product launches.
