LVMH is down nearly 2% today, as Oddo BHF maintained its 'outperform' rating on the stock this morning, while reducing its price target from 831 to 825 euros.

The research firm believes that economic conditions are "less favorable", and that it is too early to expect the trend to improve.

Thus, 'the 4th quarter should reflect slower growth and margins should remain under pressure in the second half', continues the analyst.

While we remain cautious on the overall outlook for the sector, we believe that the Group's relative position remains more favorable than average, given the strength of its flagship brands (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Sephora, to name but the most important) and the size effects that remain favorable to it", concludes the broker.
