Polen Global Growth Strategy stated the following regarding LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“We trimmed LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTC:LVMUY) from 2.6% to 1%. We think that after a period of excellent business performance, the business should see slower growth in revenues and margins over the next few years. While a portion of their demand is certainly durable due to its luxury positioning, it will still likely prove more cyclical in an economic downturn. Given its current prospective high single-digit/low double-digit EPS growth profile (which will likely be high in a downturn), we thought it was more prudent to allocate this capital to a business with more safety-like characteristics in Zoetis. However, we kept a 1% position in LVMH because we believe it remains a phenomenal business with durable advantages that are hard to replicate. We hope to own more of it someday when the business fundamentals and valuation are a more attractive combination, all things considered.”
