What Christian Dior does

Arnault family holding company whose main asset is its controlling stake in LVMH (which owns Dior).

Holds the Arnault family's controlling stake in LVMH, so its earnings are LVMH's passed through; the Dior fashion house itself was sold to LVMH in 2017. The family owns nearly all of the shares, so very few trade. A 2026 plan would merge the family's other holdings into it and rename it Agache.

In one line: No US peer..

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
