LVMH owns 75 prestigious luxury brands with near-insurmountable pricing power and a P/E of ~22, historically cheap for a compounder that benefits from expanding global affluence. If global high-net-worth wealth continues to compound, demand for bottlenecked ultra-luxury goods will grow, driving revenue and margins higher, while the current valuation offers a margin of safety relative to peers like Hermès (P/E ~37). Long LVMH (via LVMUY OTC) as a core holding for a multi-year wealth recovery trade. Sharp economic recession or wealth destruction (e.g., financial crisis, luxury consumer pullback); fashion/brand missteps; FX headwinds (EUR/USD).
