Breaking Barriers or Facing Barriers? Hailey Bieber’s Rhode at the Crossroads of Beauty M&A
Case Study | Hailey Bieber’s Rhode at the Crossroads of Beauty
M&A Hailey Bieber’s beauty brand, Rhode, is exploring sale options with a bold $1 billion valuation, guided by J.P. Morgan and Moelis. Amid a slowdown in beauty M&A, Rhode’s success in generating $200 million in sales positions it as a significant player. However, the brand’s total online presence and reliance on a celebrity founder may deter potential strategic buyers. The outcome of Rhode’s efforts could be a litmus test for the feasibility of high-valuation deals in the celebrity-driven beauty sector amidst a cautious market environment.

Debating the Divide: Should LVMH Consider Splitting Up?
As LVMH continues to dominate the luxury sector, a growing debate emerges among industry experts and investors about the potential benefits of splitting up its vast portfolio. On one hand, proponents argue that spinning off divisions like Moët Hennessy or Sephora could lead to higher valuations and more focused business strategies. On the other hand, critics maintain that LVMH’s strength lies in its conglomerate structure, which enables resource sharing and cross-brand synergies that bolster the group’s competitive edge. With CEO Bernard Arnault expressing a preference for unity, the discussion also touches on succession planning, highlighting the strategic moves shaping the future of the luxury titan.
