French luxury conglomerate LVMH saw its stock slide by more than 6% following the Tuesday evening reveal of its 2024 annual results.

Following Meta’s layoffs earlier this month, Arnault, the head of the luxury goods conglomerate that controls brands like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Sephora, likened Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s move to let go of low-performing workers to layoffs at Tiffany’s.

LVMH’s sales of fashion and leather goods declined in the fourth quarter, casting doubt on the prospects for a quick recovery in luxury demand.

While LVMH's results "challenge the sector narrative that all luxury companies have seen the acceleration" seen at Richemont and Burberry, it reinforces the idea of a quicker recovery this year than expected in October, analysts at Deutsche Bank said in a note to clients.
