  • Christian Dior Why Would Bernard Arnault Invest
    A work project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in International Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics CHRISTIAN DIOR WHY WOULD BERNARD ARNAULT INVEST BILLIONS ON A NAME HE ALREADY HOLDS? CAROLINA MARQUES BARREIROS – 4134 / 24015 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Paulo Pinho January 2019 Tuesday, April 25th 2017i. Bernard Arnault decided to go shopping. On the menu, a double operation that aims to simplify the ties that unite the group LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), Christian Dior and its owner Bernard Arnault. The first transaction consists of an offer worth about €12.1 billion from the holding company controlled by Arnault Family Group to take over of the remaining 25.9% stake Christian Dior. The second one on the strengthening of LVMH group through the acquisition of the Christian Dior Couture for €6.5 billionii. However, a question remains: why would Bernard Arnault invest billions on a name he already holds? LVMH “The LVMH group is the world’s leading luxury goods company, the result of successive alliances among companies that, from generation to generation, have successfully combined traditions of excellence and creative passion with a cosmopolitan flair and a spirit of conquest.” - LVMH websiteiii Born out of the merger of Louis Vuitton and the Moët Hennessy group in 1987, the LVMH group led by Bernard Arnault is the world’s largest luxury conglomerate in terms of turnover (Exhibit 1). In 2016, the consolidated revenue of LVMH group was €37.6 billioniv, 5% more than in 2015 (Exhibit 2).

  • On the Verge of Bank- Ruptcy, Has Roared Back to Become One of the Most Highly Valued Companies on the Planet
    APPLAUDING ALBER UMA THURMAN AND GIAMBATTISTA VALLI WERE AMONG FERRAGAMO THOSE SALUTING ALBER ELBAZ AT BARNEYS NEW YORK ON HIS EXPANDS 10TH ANNIVERSARY AT LANVIN. ON FIFTH. PAGE 9 PAGE 12 LUXURY 101 Arnault Preaches A Long-Term View By MILES SOCHA PARIS — Fifty years from now, will people still be using WWD iPhones? Who knows, but luxury titan Bernard Arnault is certain they’ll still be sipping Dom Perignon. Addressing back-to-back shareholders’ meetings FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012 Q WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY Q $3.00 for LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior SA, Arnault lobbed that analogy as he discussed the importance of taking a long-term perspective in business — and innovating constantly — especially amidst foggy economic circumstances. “It is we who create the future of our business,” Arnault said in an upbeat, at times professorial ad- dress that held an audience numbering more than 1,000 rapt in a vast hall at the Carrousel du Louvre here. “It’s not what we will do today, but what we will do in 10 to 15 years.” Arnault trumpeted that 2011 was another “vintage” year for LVMH, with profits from continuing opera- tions advancing 22 percent to 5.26 billion euros, or $7.1 billion, outpacing the growth in sales, up 16 percent to 23.66 billion euros, or $32.94 billion, as reported. LVMH’s chairman and chief executive officer said he expects the good times to continue rolling, noting that business in the first quarter was better than the fourth quarter of 2011, when sales advanced 20.4 per- cent to 7.35 billion euros, or $9.92 billion.

  • LVMH's Bid for Tiffany &
    N9-921-049 MARCH 22, 2021 GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN JULIAN ZLATEV RASEEM FAROOK LVMH‘s Bid for Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1837, Tiffany & Co. had a proud history as one of the most iconic designers of luxury jewelry in the world. Its signature blue box was known by high-end consumers globally, and classic movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s gave it a permanent place in American culture. In recent times however, the company had been struggling with growth, as annual sales and profit were on a decline since 2015. Though it managed to achieve a revenue turnaround in 20171, profits continued to drop through 2018. As a result, Tiffany’s shareholder returns suffered, underperforming both the S&P 500 Index and S&P Consumer Discretionary Index over the past five years (See Exhibit 1). Rumors that LVMH, the biggest luxury goods conglomerate in the world, wanted to acquire Tiffany started circulating in the industry in the fall of 2019. In response to these rumors, LVMH, on October 28th, 2019, confirmed that it had held preliminary discussions regarding a possible transaction with Tiffany. LVMH clarified that there was no assurance that these discussions would result in any agreement.2 LVMH’s Chairman and CEO, Bernard Arnault, had built LVMH into a powerhouse with more than €50 billion in annual revenue by pursuing a relentless acquisition strategy and now looked at Tiffany to be the crown jewel atop his luxury empire.3 LVMH initially made an offer of $120 per share4 to acquire Tiffany but the bid was promptly rejected by Tiffany’s board.

  • Money Meets Art: the Rise of the Private Galleries by Edwin Heathcote Published: March 24 2011 16:09 | Last Updated: March 24 2011 16:09
    Financial SPECIAL REPORTS Close Money meets art: the rise of the private galleries By Edwin Heathcote Published: March 24 2011 16:09 | Last updated: March 24 2011 16:09 On display: visitors are reflected in Jeff Koons’ ‘Cracked Egg’ at the opening in 2008 of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art The Wunderkammer, the fabled “cabinet of curiosities”, has, over the past half a millennium, gone from a private amusement for the wealthy to the hub around which every post-industrial, secular city now seems to revolve. Huge, expensive museums, from London’s Tate Modern to Bilbao’s Guggenheim, are trumpeted as vehicles for regeneration, as contemporary cathedrals where modern art has replaced the objects of pilgrimage. But, after two centuries of seemingly unstoppable expansion, the publicly funded mega-museum has begun to fade. The era of huge new structures to display both art and architecture is coming to an end. It might be down to oversupply, a squeeze on public funds or ennui, but there is another reason, too. The roots of the museum have been rediscovered in the eponymous, privately funded collection, the plaything of the wealthy. A tranche of new galleries is opening across the world, each displaying the insatiable appetite of the wealthy for art. The vast prices commanded by the best pieces from the most desirable modern artists have left public museums behind. Both the big-ticket names – Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, Wassily Kandinsky, even the prolific Pablo Picasso – and the highly prized (and priced) darlings of the contemporary scene, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Damien Hirst, Richard Prince to Jeff Koons, are now accessible only to oligarchs.
