Assessing the
economic health of
LVMH
Jannek Rabe
To assess the economic health of a company one must answer
three questions.
How to assess economic health of a company?
Does the
company make
money?
It is important to understand if the company makes money today, as this is the goal of a business.
Can the company
pay its debt?
Almost all companies are financed with debt. The ability to pay the debt is an indicator of financial stability both
now and when times get worse.
Will the company
be successful in
the future?
The future outlook on the business, including factors such as competition in the industry, can indicate whether
the company will make money and be able to pay its bills in the future.
LVMH, as a business, shows stable income streams.

basis of three factors

INDUSTRY TRENDS

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
Past revenue and income trends of the company can predict future outcomes.
Industry trends are important for the future of a business. When the industry is projected to see growth in the future
the company will most likely profit as well.
The economic developments are also important when predicting the future of a business. Crisis can threaten a
company, especially when it is highly debt financed.
Both industry and company are on track to do well in the future.
Will the company be successful in the future?

Economic development

hardships, LVMH has
grown in the past.
However, there is
