0646 GMT - LVMH's fourth-quarter results showed an improvement in its key fashion and leather goods division, which is likely to be well-received by investors, RBC Capital Markets' Piral Dadhania and Richard Chamberlain say in a research note. "We do not expect material consensus earnings revisions, however do expect a small positive reaction to this print given confirmation of building improvement in [fashion and leather goods] with better than expected margin delivery," the analysts say. The division that houses the French luxury conglomerate's Louis Vuitton and Dior brands posted a 3% decline in organic revenue for the quarter, but this should be enough to confirm momentum, RBC says. Overall revenue was 1% ahead of consensus expectations, while EBIT was 4% ahead of forecasts, RBC says. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
