Summary
Post about LVMH's investment case, linking its sponsorship of Formula 1 to potential brand and market growth.
Author's thesis: LVMH is temporarily undervalued (low forward P/E vs. history) due to China slowdown and geopolitics, and its F1 deal positions it for growth in the Middle East and among a global audience.
Quality assessment: Speculation. Mixes a valid data point (P/E) with anecdotal observations ("vibes," dating profiles, geopolitical speculation) and lacks fundamental business analysis.

F1 is one of the fastest growing spectator sports in the world. Last year LVMH signed a 10 year sponsorship deal with F1, replacing Rolex as the main sponsor. Ive even seen F1 as peoples ‘interests’ on dating profiles. Drive to Survive is apparently something they all watch too. With F1 expanding more into the Gulf wealth giant’s states I feel like that is a key source of market growth.
LVMH is currently trading at a forward P/E of \~18x (5 yr average 26x).
€81bn revenue im FY25 (€85bn in FY24).
€11bn earnings in FY25 (€13bn in FY 24)
Stock €471.05 (52-Week Range: €436.55 – €654.70).
Now I know fuck all about the history of this company and a lot of this is vibes. Stock has been punished a bit presumably by the slow growth in china, as well as the US/Israel war with Iran which is destabilising a key market. Though once Trump realises he can’t do any more any the war quietens down I feel the Middle East market will grow lots.
What’s everyone’s thoughts?
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.
