LVMH is the world's largest luxury goods company. It owns more than 75 famous brands across fashion, jewelry, wine, spirits, cosmetics, and hotels — including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Bulgari, and Sephora. Its customers are wealthy consumers around the world who pay premium prices for products that signal status and craftsmanship.

LVMH makes money by selling physical goods at very high markups, which explains its 66% gross margin. The company operates globally, with especially strong sales in Europe, the United States, and Asia — particularly China, where it generates a significant share of revenue. Its moat comes from owning irreplaceable heritage brands that take decades to build and cannot easily be copied. The biggest risk the business faces is a slowdown in Chinese consumer spending, which has already pressured sales in recent years and remains a key variable for the company's near-term growth.
