# Weekly Recap | Louis Vuitton -4.34%, L'Oréal overtakes it in market value

## The Week

Louis Vuitton (LVMUY) fell 4.34% this week to close at $91.90, while the S&P 500 slipped just 0.08%, leaving the stock about 4.26 percentage points behind the benchmark. It opened Monday at $95.40 and hit a weekly high of $96.88, then dropped to $93.85 on Tuesday. The following three sessions traded between $93.71 and $95.44 before Friday’s push down to a weekly low of $91.71. The overall pattern was a rise, then a steady drift lower into the close.

## Key Events

L’Oréal overtook LVMH on Wednesday as France’s most valuable listed company, making it the most direct company-related headline of the week. Earlier, J.P. Morgan maintained a hold on the ADR on Monday, Bernstein kept a buy on Tuesday, and Berenberg reiterated a hold on Friday, though the ratings did little to lift the share price. On Thursday, Nike appointed LVMH executive Alexandre Arnault to its board, a governance-level cross-appointment. European equities slipped on Tuesday as banks dragged and oil-driven inflation concerns weighed, moving in the same direction as the weaker luxury sector.

## Analyst Ratings

Among the three covering institutions this week, one rated it a buy and two rated it a hold, with no sell or underweight ratings. The consensus rating is buy, with a consensus target of $122.50, about 33.30% above the latest price. The target range runs from $95.50 to $150.00, a wide spread that points to divided views on the upside. Within the apparel, accessories and luxury goods industry, the stock ranks 20th out of 35, below the industry average of 9 covering firms.

## The Week Ahead

The focus next week shifts to US data that could shape consumer and rate expectations. The Richmond Fed composite index arrives on Tuesday, followed by initial jobless claims, the current account balance and new home sales on Thursday. The ratings split left behind this week and the stock’s drop to $91.71, a recent low, will also be watched for any sign of stabilisation.

## In Short

The share-price decline came alongside the loss of France’s top market-cap spot to L’Oréal and a softer tone across European markets. At the same time, the three covering institutions still rate the stock a buy on consensus, and the consensus target sits above spot. But the stock is trading below its 60-day moving average of $106.32 and near the bottom of its recent range. The gap between the brokerage view and the short-term price action leaves consumer data as the next test of direction.
