LVMH shares plummeted over 7% in morning trading Wednesday after the French luxury conglomerate reported mixed full-year earnings late Tuesday.

Organic revenue grew by 1% in the fourth quarter, flat from the same period a year earlier. Over the full year, revenue declined 1%.

Shares were last seen 7.7% lower.
