Barclays Downgrades LVMH: Barclays has downgraded LVMH to "equal weight" due to macroeconomic challenges, margin pressures, and a weak recovery outlook for its Fashion & Leather Goods division, lowering the price target from €755 to €550 and cutting 2025 earnings forecasts by 16%.
Luxury Market Concerns: The luxury market is facing declining demand, particularly in the U.S. and China, with rising tariffs and softening consumer sentiment contributing to a projected revenue decline for LVMH's core segments, while competition intensifies across other divisions like Wines & Spirits and Perfumes & Cosmetics.
