The document discusses reasons for LVMH to acquire Bulgari. It argues that LVMH needs to strengthen its portfolio of "hard" luxury goods like jewelry and watches. Acquiring Bulgari would help with this as Bulgari specializes in high-end jewelry and has strong sales in Asia and emerging markets. The document also notes that the luxury goods sector is seeing "polarization" with high-end brands outperforming, and that acquiring Bulgari could position LVMH to benefit from this trend. Finally, it briefly mentions that if economic conditions worsen, high-end luxury may continue to see demand, implying Bulgari could provide resilience to LVMH in a downturn.
