LVMH shares slump after unexpected drop in sales

Shares in LVMH, which also owns Dior, Tiffany and Moët & Chandon, fell by as much as 7% in early trading yesterday, briefly hitting a two-year low before regaining slightly, after it warned of an "uncertain economic and geopolitical environment", with falling sales in Asia.

It came after weaker spending by Chinese consumers on cognac, designer handbags and clothing hit group revenues, which fell to €19.1bn (£16bn) in the three months to the end of September, 3% lower than the same period a year earlier.
