LVMH said it was in green not just in the United States but in Europe, Japan and the rest of Asia as well. The French giant wrote in a press release on Tuesday:

In an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, LVMH remains both vigilant and confident at the start of the year.

A 2.0% annualised growth in fashion and leather goods business came in line with expectations today. LVMH stock is now down well over 10% versus its year-to-date high.

Comparable sales at watches and jewelry as well as wines and spirits were down on a year-over-year basis (2.0% for the former and 12% for the latter).

LVMH did offset that weakness with a 7.0% increase in its perfumes and cosmetics segment while selective retailing also came in up 11% for Q1 on Tuesday.

[LVMH] will continue to pursue its strategy focused on development of brands, driven by sustained policy of innovation and investment [and] a constant quest for quality in its products.

Note that analysts at HSBC recently told clients that LVMH needs upgrades for its stock to climb higher and those upgrades were not very likely to materialise any time soon. LVMH does, however, pay a dividend yield of 1.66% at writing.
