The Business Engineer view: many Maisons, one profit engine

Fashion & Leather Goods made 47% of 2025 revenue but about 74% of profit from recurring operations, €13.2 billion at a 35.0% margin.

The other groups do different jobs: Sephora and DFS bring reach (9.7% margin), Perfumes & Cosmetics extends the Dior name (8.9%), and Wines & Spirits earned 19.0%.

The Arnault family group holds 65.9% of the voting rights, which lets LVMH run its houses for the long term.
