Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH
Extract from the press release published on July 27, 2026
Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, said: “LVMH demonstrated its solidity and effective strategy. Our Maisons – which remained focused on ensuring the utmost quality in our products, and several of which are pursuing their creative renewal – continued to inspire dreams and enhance their desirability. Accelerating growth in the second quarter arose in particular from the success of Jonathan Anderson’s first designs for Christian Dior, the remarkable performance of Louis Vuitton’s exceptional new stores in Beijing and Seoul, and Tiffany and Bvlgari’s iconic lines. Strong growth at Sephora and the recovery in champagne and cognac also contributed to this excellent momentum. While continuing to pay very close attention to margins, we are entering the second half of the year with renewed confidence in the long-term potential of our Maisons and in our highly committed teams to continue to stand out and reinforce LVMH’s leadership position. The latest edition of our Journées Particulières events will showcase the invaluable expertise of our craftspeople and the rich heritage of our Maisons, offering an array of unique experiences.”
Highlights of the first half of 2026 included the following:
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading high-quality products group, recorded revenue of €38.6 billion in the first half of 2026. LVMH maintained its innovative momentum and remained very solid in a geopolitical and economic environment that remained disrupted, amplified by the conflict in the Middle East. Growth accelerated in the second quarter, with organic revenue growth for the Group of 3% (4% excluding the impact of the conflict in the Middle East). The United States saw growth accelerate and had a good first half of the year. Asia (excluding Japan) saw strong growth, confirming the improvement in trends observed starting in the second half of 2025. Japan posted growth for the half-year period and Europe showed good resilience.
Profit from recurring operations for the first half of 2026 came to €8.7 billion, equating to an operating margin that remained high at 22.5%. The Group share of net profit amounted to €5.7 billion, stable year on year.
Despite a geopolitical and economic environment that remains uncertain, the Group remains confident and will maintain a strategy focused on continuously enhancing the desirability of its brands, drawing on the exceptional quality of its products and excellence in retail.
Its exacting focus on the highest quality across all its activities, combined with the energy and unparalleled creativity of its teams, will enable the LVMH Group to reinforce its global leadership position in luxury goods once again in 2026.
An interim dividend of €5.50 will be paid on December 3, 2026.
Set out to explore our iconic spaces, some of which are opening their doors to the public for the first time, and let our craftspeople take you on a voyage.

LVMH presents the 6th edition which will take place from October 16 to 18, 2026. For three days, 46 Maisons will exceptionally open 69 venues in 12 countries, offering the public many new experiences and several openings accessible for the first time.
Workshops, manufactures, cellars, family homes, archives, iconic boutiques will invite visitors to meet the women and men behind the Maisons, and to discover the savoir-faire and heritage that bring Maisons’ creations to life.
Created in 2011, Les Journées Particulières allow the public to discover the behind-the-scenes of the LVMH Group's Maisons for free and to meet those who embody their savoir-faire.
This theme « At the Source of Dreams » is articulated around three founding dimensions of the Maisons' excellence: nature, culture, and craftsmanship.
Beyond the venues themselves, Les Journées Particulières remain above all an invitation to meet the artisans, experts, creators, and teams who bring the Maisons to life every day. By opening their doors to the public, the Maisons showcase the precision of gestures, the demanding techniques, the quality of materials, and the vitality of a living heritage in constant transmission.
On the occasion of Les Journées Particulières, Antoine Dupont, LVMH and Louis Vuitton Ambassador, visited the Group's workshops to motivate the teams preparing to welcome the public. His intervention echoes what drives the Maisons as the event approaches : collective commitment, precision of gesture, preparation, and the desire to transmit. It is this momentum that will animate, within the Maisons, all those who will welcome the public next October.
Registrations will open in September 2026.
