LVMH Q1 sales miss estimates as Middle East conflict weighs

LVMH reported first-quarter organic sales growth of 1%, missing FactSet consensus expectations of 1.5%. The miss suggests softer-than-expected demand for the luxury group, though the shortfall is modest rather than severe. The update is likely to pressure sentiment around luxury retail and LVMH shares, but the market impact should be limited.
