How China Is Crippling Global Luxury Brand Louis Vuitton's Parent Company
Last Updated: According to a Bloomberg report, LVMH indicated that it had failed to meet market expectations in the last quarter, with particularly sharp declines in Asia. The glitter of the global luxury market continues to dim, after industry titan LVMH, the short for Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and also the parent company of popular brand Louis Vuitton, signalled an ongoing weakness across key markets. The Paris-headquartered conglomerate, home to iconic brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Tiffany & Co, warned investors and analysts that sluggish demand, especially in China, is likely to persist into the second quarter. According to a Bloomberg report, LVMH indicated that its recent sales struggles may not abate anytime soon. The company failed to meet market expectations last quarter, with particularly sharp declines in Asia. Organic revenue growth across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region dropped by 11%, mirroring the fall seen over the past year. This region is critical for the luxury giant, accounting for roughly 30% of its total revenue, while the United States contributes another 24%. The downturn in China, historically a powerhouse for luxury consumption, is being driven by a mix of weak consumer sentiment and macroeconomic challenges. The country's post-pandemic economic recovery remains tepid, and fresh trade tensions, exacerbated by new US tariffs, are further dampening consumer confidence. This grim forecast has cast a long shadow over the broader luxury sector. Companies like Kering (owner of Gucci), Richemont (parent of Cartier), Tapestry, Ralph Lauren, and Capri Holdings are all expected to feel the ripple effects. Capri, notably, recently sold its Versace label to Prada for $1.4 billion, underscoring the shifting tides within the industry. Investor sentiment is also undergoing a notable shift. On social media platform Stocktwits, traders' outlook on LVMH has cooled, with sentiment sliding from 'bullish" to 'neutral", a sign that optimism about a quick rebound is waning. Founded in 1987 through the merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton, LVMH has grown into the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate. Under the stewardship of chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, currently one of the richest individuals globally, the company has expanded its footprint across fashion, jewellery, watches, perfumes, wines, and spirits. Its impressive portfolio includes names like Fendi, Givenchy, Bulgari, and Hennessy, catering to affluent clientele in nearly every corner of the globe. But even this powerhouse is not immune to macroeconomic headwinds. As China, once the jewel in the crown of global luxury, retreats from its spending highs, the future of the sector is increasingly uncertain. American consumers, too, are showing signs of restraint, potentially exacerbated by political and fiscal uncertainty ahead of the 2024 US elections. All Eyes on Ralph Lauren Amid the sector's growing uncertainty, some investors are watching Ralph Lauren's upcoming results for clues about the future direction of luxury retail. The US label, known for its aspirational branding and international presence, may provide early signs of whether the slump is spreading or if a rebound could be on the horizon.

Ralph Lauren mulls price hikes as tariffs hurt sales forecast
By Anuja Bharat Mistry Ralph Lauren forecast tepid annual sales on Thursday and said it was weighing price increases, as the Trump administration's steep tariffs start to pressure consumer spending and margins. The company still beat fourth-quarter estimates for revenue and profit, thanks in part to increased marketing and investments in brands such as Polo and Purple Label, sending its shares about 2% higher in early trade. "We are assessing additional pricing actions for full-year 2025 and spring of 2026 to mitigate the potential impact of evolving tariffs," said CEO Patrice Louvet on a post-earnings call. That will be in addition to the proactive pricing Ralph Lauren has already planned for 2025 in North America and Asia, he said. The apparel retailer expects fiscal 2026 revenue to increase in the low-single digits from last year, including the impact of tariffs, inflationary pressures and spending challenges. Analysts estimate a rise of 4.39%, per data compiled by LSEG. "The outlook is far more modest. Weakening consumer sentiment and ongoing tensions from trade and geopolitical relations may dampen the appeal of iconic U.S. brands such as Ralph Lauren in overseas markets," said Sky Canaves , analyst with eMarketer. Ralph Lauren is among the retailers and luxury brands facing the brunt of unpredictable U.S. tariff shifts that have disrupted businesses and rattled shoppers worldwide. In fiscal 2025, the company sourced about 96% of its products from outside the U.S., with 12% coming from China, according to its annual filings. China is also a major market for Ralph Lauren products, after North America and Europe. While the recent 90-day trade truce between Washington and Beijing cut U.S. tariffs on China to 30% from an eye-watering 145%, the relief is expected to be brief for the Asian country's export-reliant economy. Ralph Lauren also said its gross margins would be squeezed in the second half of the year due to tariffs.
