Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $LVMH is a high-quality business

MARGINS✅

•LTM Net Income Margins: 16.3%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~19% MORE in EPS & ~13% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $LVMH has to grow earnings at a 9.99% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than (10.95%) the required growth rate:

2024E: €30.12 (-0.7% YoY)* Dec

2025E: €33.57 (11.4% YoY)
2026E: €36.73 (9.4% YoY)

So, let’s assume $LVMH ends 2026 with €36.73 in EPS & see its CAGR potential (dividends included) assuming different multiples:

23x P/E: €844.79💵 … ~14.1% CAGR

22x P/E: €808.06💵 … ~12.1% CAGR

21x P/E: €771.33💵 … ~10.0% CAGR

20x P/E: €734.60💵 … ~8.0% CAGR

As you can see, we’d have to assume 22x for $LVMH to have attractive return potential & while 22x is certainly reasonable given its quality, we should be aware that $LVMH 10-Year average multiple (24.92x) is elevated a bit due to the valuation spike in 2020-2021

If we “normalize” the multiple & use the 5-year average period from 2014-2019 we have a mean of 20.83x 🔎

While $LVMH deserves to trade at a premium multiple due to its quality, I’m hesitant to rely on 23x because I want to ensure some margin of safety

It’s safer to rely on ~21x earnings & be pleasantly surprised with some multiple expansion (rather than have the risk of multiple compression)

At 21x, we can still reasonably expect double-digit returns with some multiple expansion if growth estimates rise

Today at €636💵 $LVMH appears to be a decent consideration for investment (perhaps with a second tranche of accumulation if it gets to €585💵)

A couple of interesting data points:

1️⃣ Amazon’s AWS revenue over the last 12 months ($99 billion) was higher than the revenue of 468 companies in the S&P 500.

2️⃣ Apple has bought back $646 billion in stock over the past 10 years, which is greater than the market cap of 491 companies in the S&P 500.
