Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) is investing 150 million euros ($163 million) in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games. LVMH is leading a wave of luxury fashion entering the sports world, with partners like Naomi Osaka and Victor Wembanyama.
LVMH's second-largest fashion brand Dior was until last month behind on disclosures required by UK law about working conditions in its supply chain, and made outdated statements on its website of a third-party certification that it terminated more than a year ago, Reuters has found.
LVMH's sponsorship deal took a year of negotiations and ultimately landed at about $160 million of investment from the parent company of brands like Loewe, TAG Heuer and Dom Perignon. The partnership is on display throughout the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which officially kicks off on Friday.

Luxury goods giant LVMH's latest earnings showed resilience with 2% organic growth in the first half of 2024, but the market leader fell short of analyst estimates and last year's revenue amid a slowdown in luxury fashion.
LVMH is a prime example of a high-quality business with heritage brands, family ownership, and a loyal customer base. An industry slowdown and French political turmoil exert valuation pressure on LVMH and other French luxury firms alike. LVMH delivered 35 years of continuous organic growth at 9.1% annually, with many more to come, in my view.
LVMH is a high-quality company with a low terminal value risk and exceptional management team in the luxury sector. The company's diversified portfolio of over 75 brands across different segments enhances its long-term value and mitigates risks. I discuss the benefits of investing in LVMH as a luxury ETF with higher quality than most companies in the sector.
