CEO Bernard Arnault tied LVMH’s recovery to the outcome of the Middle East crisis at the annual shareholder meeting.

Arnault warned that global market stability depends on how the geopolitical situation unfolds.

The board proposed a €13 per share dividend for the 2025 fiscal year.

LVMH shares experienced significant price weakness throughout 2026.

The remarks provide context for the company's performance during a broader luxury sector slump.
