Why LVMH Stock Was Climbing Today
As of 12:10 p.m. ET, the stock was up 5.1% on the news.
LVMH gets a leg up
Luxury stocks have struggled in the current environment amid weak consumer spending in China and pressure from the trade war, but now one of Wall Street's most respected institutions thinks the sell-off has gone too far.
This morning, Goldman added LVMH to its European Conviction Buy list, arguing that investors should look through second-quarter softness and calling LVMH "a clear winner in the next luxury upcycle."
LVMH's first-quarter revenue results were disappointing as organic revenue was down 3% to 20.3 billion euros. Additionally, the company didn't post organic growth in any of its five categories, and fashion and leather goods, its biggest segment, saw a 5% decline in organic revenue.
What's next for LVMH
The luxury goods sector is sensitive to the same set of economic factors, including spending in China, the general economic cycle, and the stock market.
However, luxury goods like LVMH's wide range of brands are also known for timelessness, and the company has a long history of riding out economic volatility and continuing to grow. While Goldman Sachs might be premature in the timing of its call, given the highly fluid trade situation, the stock looks well priced at a price-to-earnings valuation of 19.
With the stock down by nearly a third over the past year, LVMH should eventually bounce back, and that could come sooner rather than later if the global economy can absorb the trade shifts.

Why Opendoor Technologies Stock Swooned in June
Next-generation real estate company Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) wasn't exactly looking like the wave of the future in the first summer month of this year. June saw the company's stock lose more than 18% of its value, which wasn't all that surprising given a piece of financial engineering it announced toward the start of the month. An analyst's recommendation downgrade also dampened investor sentiment. Splitsville On June 6, the company revealed that it had filed the initial regulatory paperwork to prepare for a reverse stock split. It intends to bring the matter to a vote in a special meeting for its investors. A reverse stock split is a measure in which a company reduces its total number of shares outstanding. In its press release divulging the news, Opendoor quoted CFO Selim Freiha as saying that the move "is intended to support long-term shareholder value and give us optionality in preserving our listing on Nasdaq." The company said it aimed to reverse-split its stock at a ratio of one share for every 10, up to 1-for-50. I should stress here that neither a standard nor a reverse stock split changes the market cap of a stock; only the amount of shares outstanding and the price are modified. The fewer shares, the higher the price in the case of reverses. Opendoor had intended to hold the special shareholder meeting on Monday, July 28. The company is vulnerable to downturns in the housing market, as it is essentially a reseller that buys homes, then spruces them up in order to "flip" them on the market and pocket a profit. This is a juicy business model when housing is on an upswing, but it can produce major headaches if the market is stagnant or heading south. An analyst became more bearish As June worked its way to a finish, a new analyst report threw a bit of a shadow on Opendoor stock. CItizens JMP's Andrew Boone re-evaluated his take on the company and elected to downgrade his recommendation on the shares. Now Boone believes Opendoor only rates a market perform (i.e., hold) instead of a market outperform (buy). According to reports, the basis for Boone's new view is his belief that Opendoor seems to be functioning more as a backup option for people trying to sell their homes, rather than as their primary means of sale. He also mentioned the company's high level of debt, which has become expensive to service. On a brighter note, he said that Key Connections, a new program that connects partner real estate agents with sellers, could help Opendoor improve its fortunes. To me, Opendoor is a company that has some interesting ideas for how to profit from real estate. It hasn't yet turned these concepts into a viable business, however, so I would give its stock a pass until more signs of potential success emerge.
