LVMH revenue has declined for the fiscal year (2025: €80.8B) amid a luxury-sector slowdown, and no new major acquisition surfaced this pass — reads as defending the existing empire rather than actively expanding it. Family voting lock (65.89%) is unthreatened either way. Historical pattern (Dior/Bulgari/Tiffany) is a serial-acquirer one, but that is a past cadence, not a live 2026 deal.
