LVMH trades at a forward P/E of ~18x, below its 5-year average of 26x, and has secured a 10-year main sponsorship deal with the rapidly growing F1. The lower valuation is a temporary punishment for China/geopolitical risks, while the F1 sponsorship provides a long-term brand growth vector in wealthy markets like the Middle East. The stock is undervalued relative to its historical norm and is positioned for a re-rating as growth concerns ease and the F1 partnership bears fruit. Prolonged slow growth in China, escalation of Middle East conflict impacting luxury demand, failure of F1 sponsorship to drive brand value or sales.
