- LVMH’s market capitalization has fallen to about 213 billion euros, according to the Financial Times.
LVMH has given back most of the stock-market gains it made during the luxury boom of the COVID-19 pandemic, after its market value once surpassed $500 billion.
The Paris-listed luxury group now has a market capitalization of about 213 billion euros, the Financial Times reported on Sept. 6. That figure represents a sharp reversal for a company previously regarded as one of the most valuable in the global investment market.
The headline frames the decline as a backlash after LVMH sharply raised the prices of its bags. The source does not provide further details about the company’s financial performance or the reasons for the fall.
