HSBC Goes Bullish on LVMH (MC) Stock: Here’s Why

HSBC just flipped the script on luxury giant LVMH—turning bullish with a major upgrade that's got traders buzzing.

Breaking Down the Bull Case

HSBC analysts see LVMH's brand power as virtually untouchable—even in shaky economic climates. The luxury sector's resilience, coupled with LVMH’s aggressive digital pivot, positions it to outperform. No surprise—when big banks move, markets listen (or pretend to).

Timing the Luxury Wave

Post-pandemic revenge spending never really died—it just went quiet. HSBC bets that high-net-worth individuals aren’t cutting back on luxury goods; they’re just being pickier. And LVMH’s portfolio—from Louis Vuitton to Dior—is their top pick.

The Cynical Take

Because nothing says 'conviction' like upgrading a stock after it’s already mooned. Classic bank timing—always fashionably late to the party.

HSBC Sees Big Potential for Dior

Rambourg highlighted confidence in Jonathan Anderson’s leadership of Dior’s (FR:CDI) creative direction. The bank noted that his menswear collection in late June generated over one billion impressions and expects strong attention for his upcoming womenswear collection.

For context, Anderson, a Northern Irish fashion designer, has been the creative director of Dior since 2025.

Additionally, he pointed out that Dior is addressing creativity and accessibility by introducing more affordable options, including the Dior Toujours, Groove, and D-Motion handbags. The firm believes there is more upside than risk with Anderson leading Dior’s creative vision.

Big Designer Moves

HSBC’s upgrade comes amid a wave of designer changes sweeping the luxury fashion industry. The bank expects Anderson’s Dior collection to attract significant attention, alongside upcoming releases from Demna at Kering’s (FR:KER) Gucci and Mr. Blazy at Chanel.

Furthermore, Rambourg noted that multi-brand distributors report strong excitement for next year’s launches, which could increase store traffic even if immediate sales conversion is modest.
