(jckonline.com) - Last week, Swiss newspaper Finanz und Wirtschaft reported there were “whispers” that LVMH wanted to acquire rival conglomerate Richemont—and had its sights particularly set on Richemont star performer Cartier. The story was pretty vague on its sourcing, and some publications, such as the newsletter Miss Tweed and the Chinese luxury publication Jing Daily, dismissed it outright. Bloomberg argued that Kering would be a better partner. (Richemont reportedly spurned a merger offer with Kering in 2021.) Richemont’s stock didn’t move much following the report. But there are reasons there might be something to it.
