Bernard Arnault\u2019s net worth is cratering this year as the LVMH stock price implodes. <\/p>\n

It has already dropped by over $52 billion to the current $156 billion, making him the 7th richest person on earth after Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison.<\/p>\n

LVMH stock price has slumped amid luxury sales slump<\/h2>\n

The ongoing retreat in Arnault\u2019s net worth is happening as shares of his company has dropped from \u20ac653 in January last year to \u20ac463 today. <\/p>\n

This retreat has brought its market capitalization from over \u20ac350 billion to -\u20ac232 billion today. <\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, Arnault controls about half of the company.<\/p>\n

His net worth today is much lower than the all-time high of $230billion, which he achieved in 2024 when he briefly became the richest person on earth.<\/p>\n

The LVMH stock price has slumped amid the ongoing fears that its business will continue slowing in key markets. <\/p>\n

China, a crucial market, continues to slow this year, a trend that may continue for a while.<\/p>\n

Most recently, there are concerns that the ongoing US-Iran war<\/a> will have an impact on its booming Middle East business. <\/p>\n

Iran has constantly attacked its neighbours, like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, leading to a collapse in tourism in the region.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the important wines and spirits business continues to struggle as demand for alcoholic beverages wanes. <\/p>\n

In particular, customers are no longer buying Hennessy Cognac as they did in the past. The company was also affected by Donald Trump’s tariffs.<\/p>\n

The most recent results showed that LVMH\u2019s annual revenue dropped by 1% last year to \u20ac80.8 billion, while its profit fell by 9% to over \u20ac17.8 billion. <\/p>\n

LVMH\u2019s wine business brought in \u20ac5.86 billion in revenue last year, down by 9% from a year earlier. <\/p>\n

The fashion and leather goods business made \u20ac41 billion, also down by 8%, while the perfumes and cosmetics and watches & jewellery made \u20ac8.4 billion and \u20ac10.4 billion. <\/p>\n

The selective retailing, which includes its Tiffany business, made \u20ac18 billion.<\/p>\n

Analysts and investors will focus on the company\u2019s earnings, which will come out on April 12. <\/p>\n

Analysts expect the results to show that its business weakened in the first quarter amid disruptions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Other luxury brand stocks have underperformed the market this year. <\/p>\n

Hermes’ stock has slumped by 45% from its highest point in April last year and is hovering at its lowest level since October 2023.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Kering, the parent company of Gucci, was trading at \u20ac254, down by 62% from its all-time high. Other companies like Burberry and Kering have all slumped.<\/p>\n

Technicals suggest that the LVMH stock price may continue falling in the near term. <\/p>\n

It has already plunged from a high of 857 euros in May 2023 to the current 467 euros.<\/p>\n

The stock has remained below all moving averages on the three-day chart. <\/p>\n

It also moved below the Major S&R pivot point of the Murrey Math Lines tool at 500 euros.<\/p>\n

LVMH has moved below all moving averages and is now along the lower side of the Bollinger Bands tool. <\/p>\n

Therefore, the stock will likely continue falling as sellers target the Strong, Pivot, and Reverse levels of the Murrey Math Lines at 375 euros.\u00a0<\/p>\n
