$MC (-0.25%) - Failed takeovers of LVMH

and activities of the children of Bernard

Arnault

Did you know the following:

In the late 90s, LVMH tried to take over Gucci, but CEO Domenico De Sole resisted.

He diluted the share price and gave employees a stake, weakening LVMH's control. Then Kering stepped in and secured Gucci.

He also tried Hermes:

In 2010, LVMH secretly acquired 17 percent of Hermès ($RMS (+0.75%) ), triggering a storm of indignation. Hermès fought back with legal disputes and accused LVMH of insider trading and share manipulation.

After years of conflict, LVMH agreed to sell its 23% stake in 2014, ending the intense rivalry.

Who will be the next takeover candidate?

Thanks to all the successful takeovers, LVMH now has an extensive portfolio of 75 brands, which can be seen in the picture.

LVMH is the largest luxury company in the world.

The Arnault family:

Bernard will probably keep the company in the family. As he has five children who are already integrated into the company, these are the potential successors:

1. Delphine

2. Antoine

3. Alexandre

4. Frederic

5. Jean

Delphine (49) is Executive VP of Louis Vuitton.

Delphine has been with LVMH since 2001 and is in charge of brand development and strategy. She plays an important role in the success of LV.

Antoine (47) is CEO of Berluti and Chairman of Loro Piana.

Antoine focuses on expanding LVMH's presence in luxury fashion and plays a role in brand communication and acquisitions.

Alexandre Arnault (32) is CEO of Tiffany & Co.

Alexandre revitalized Tiffany by targeting younger audiences and improving its digital presence. As a result, profits doubled within a year.

Frédéric Arnault (29) is CEO of LVMH Watches. After being CEO of Tag Heuer.

Jean Arnault (26) is Director of Product & Communications at Louis Vuitton Watches.

Amazon competes with Temu and Shein with low prices + Burberry share price jumps after quarterly figures + Another damper - takeover rally at Evotec + UBS raises target for Delivery Hero to 56 euros - 'Buy'

Amazon $AMZN (+0.26%) no longer wants to let Chinese competitors such as Temu or the Singaporean retailer Shein take the butter off its bread in the low-price segment and is therefore launching the new Amazon Haul store, which is intended to attract buyers with particularly low prices. The launch is initially taking place as a beta in the USA.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/amazon-haul-amazon-macht-temu-und-shein-mit-billigpreisen-konkurrenz.90292/

The shares of Burberry $BRBY (-0.11%) have reacted to the quarterly figures and the British luxury clothing manufacturer's new business strategy with a jump in the share price. In the late morning, the shares were up 15 percent at 841 pence. The loss was smaller than feared, UBS analyst Zuzanna Pusz said in an initial reaction. The new CEO Joshua Schulman wants to refocus on the origins of the Burberry brand before expanding into other areas, commented analyst Aarin Chiekrie from asset manager Hargreaves Lansdown. He is unlikely to want to make the same mistake as his predecessors by targeting Burberry's offering at a narrow base of luxury customers at the expense of a loyal fan base. With Thursday's jump in the share price, the shares continued their recent recovery, having cost less than 600 pence towards the end of September. At the start of 2024, it had been more than 1,400 pence. However, many luxury goods stocks then came under pressure, partly due to weakening demand in the important Chinese market.

Investors are focusing on Evotec $EVT (+1.24%) takeover fantasy, which had already emerged at the beginning of the week. The US company Halozyme Therapeutics is reportedly targeting the Hamburg-based drug researcher. The price offered is EUR 11 per share in cash. Evotec shares soared to 10.80 euros in pre-market trading, gaining around a quarter compared to the Xetra close. However, this is little consolation for investors, as they had started the year at over 21 euros. In initial reactions, analysts emphasized the high intrinsic value, which is now crystallizing somewhat better.

The major Swiss bank UBS has raised the price target for Delivery Hero $DHER (+3.05%) from 47 to 56 euros and left the rating at "Buy". The potential Talabat IPO puts the true value of the group in the spotlight, analyst Jo Barnet-Lamb wrote in his commentary on Friday. Such value creation could also pave the way for distributions to shareholders. Delivery Hero remains a one-year UBS favorite in the European internet sector.
