LVMH Shares Fall as Second-Quarter Sales Fail to Impress
Shares in LVMH fell sharply on Wednesday as analysts said that an in-line increase in sales at the world's top luxury indicated the overall sector was moving towards a less impressive path of growth. "While this is a solid growth rate in absolute terms...whether we are now at the end of the positive earnings revision cycle for luxury and on the drivers of sector growth going forward" wrote analysts at JP Morgan. LVMH shares were down 3.7% in early session trading, also dragging down the shares of its rival Kering.
