French luxury products company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, or LVMH (FR:MC) (LVMUY), is drawing strong support from Wall Street as several analysts maintain their Buy ratings. The recent wave of bullish ratings came despite the company reporting a challenging Q2 for 2025. Year-to-date, MC stock has declined more than 25%, reflecting broader market pressures on the luxury sector. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

LVMH is a European fashion house known for its iconic luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Fendi, Bulgari, and more. The company is primarily listed on the Euronext Paris exchange but also trades over-the-counter (OTC) in the U.S. 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 €565.14, which is 20% higher than the current trading level.

S&P 500 Gains & Losses Today: UnitedHealth Stock Climbs After News of Berkshire Stake
Key Takeaways The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% on Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, as a report on consumer sentiment revealed growing concerns about tariff impacts, inflation, and the jobs market. UnitedHealth stock surged as regulatory filings showed that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has accumulated a large position in the health insurer. Applied Materials provided an underwhelming outlook for the current quarter, citing macro uncertainty, and shares of the chip equipment maker fell. U.S. stocks logged weekly gains, the major indexes finishing Friday with mixed results heading into the weekend, as the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index showed declining confidence in the state of the economy for the first time in four months. The S&P 500 declined 0.3% on Friday, snapping a streak of three straight record closing highs. The Nasdaq lost 0.4%, while the Dow held onto a gain of 0.1%. Read today's full daily markets roundup here. UnitedHealth Group (UNH) shares jumped after a regulatory filing showed that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B), the firm run by legendary investor Warren Buffett, has increased its stake in the health insurance giant. UnitedHealth and other insurers have been pressured by rising medical costs and changes in government reimbursement rates, which contributed to UnitedHealth's decision to withdraw full-year guidance in May. A surge of 12% made UnitedHealth the S&P 500's top daily performer. Shares of other health insurers also moved higher. Sunrun (RUN), the market share leader in the U.S. residential solar business, beat quarterly sales and profit forecasts. The provider of panel installation and battery storage solutions said it would rely on its experience from past regulatory changes to mitigate the impact from pending changes to clean energy tax credits. Sunrun shares rocketed 33%. Shares of S&P 500 constituents Fist Solar (FSLR) and Enphase Energy (ENPH) shares added 11% and 8.1%, respectively. Moderna (MRNA) advanced 5%, adding to gains posted earlier in the week after Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, recognized the potential of the mRNA vaccine technology that underlies Moderna's products. Bhattacharya's view showed more flexibility on mRNA when compared with tougher rhetoric from other health officials tied to the Trump administration, which has moved to cut funding for mRNA-related research. Shares of semiconductor equipment manufacturer Applied Materials (AMAT) tumbled 14%, falling the most of any S&P 500 stock. Although Applied Materials topped sales and profit forecasts for its fiscal fourth quarter, its guidance for the current quarter fell short of forecasts, with macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on its outlook, particularly in China. Shares of fellow chip equipment makers KLA Corp. (KLAC) and Lam Research (LRCX) fell 8.4% and 7.3%, respectively. Paramount Skydance (PSKY) shares lost 4.6%, giving back some of the outsized gains posted earlier in the week as the stock drew comparisons to "meme stocks" that have generated trading frenzies lately. The stock has seen major volatility following the completion of the merger between Skydance Media and Paramount Global. HSBC downgraded Cisco Systems (CSCO) stock to "hold" from "buy" and lowered its price target. Analysts pointed to Cisco's modest revenue growth expectations and the possibility of diminishing momentum as the benefits of restocking cycle that has been boosting the computer networking specialist taper off. Cisco stock slipped 4.5% on Friday.
