Awful spread on this share
The Superdry (LON: SDRY) share price continued its remarkable sell-off as concerns about the company’s growth continued. The stock plunged by over 20% on Tuesday to a low of 33p. This is a strong sell-off considering that it peaked at 492p in 2021 and 1,948p in January 2018.
Concerns about the company continue
Superdry stock price has been in a strong sell-off since 2018 as the company’s growth continued to decelerate. In its most recent results, the company said that its total revenue in FY 23 rose slightly to over £622.5 million. Its gross margins dropped to 52.8% while the firm’s statutory loss after tax jumped to over £148.1 million.
In the statement, the company’s founder and CEO lamented that the business was having a difficult year, especially in its wholesale business. As a result, he confirmed that his team was still working on a turnaround strategy.

This is correct post :
Reuters) - Superdry on Monday confirmed that it was in talks with lender Hilco to provide additional liquidity, as the struggling British fashion retailer looks to navigate weak demand.
The company said it is in discussion to increase its lending facilities by about 10 million pounds ($13 million) and an additional 10 million pounds to meet seasonal working capital requirements.
Superdry, which has been battling weak demand for its jackets and clothing, also said discussions with Hilco include an extension to the maturity date of its existing credit facilities with the lender by about six months to Feb. 7, 2025.
In January, the retailer had reported a 13.7% drop in group sales for the 12 weeks to Jan. 20 and said that it does not expect market conditions to improve in the near term.
The Chairman of Superdry previously received a request from Julian Dunkerton, Chief Executive Officer, for permission to begin exploring the possibility of making an offer for the Company and to commence discussions with potential sources of finance. The Company formed an independent committee (the “Transaction Committee”) to consider the request. The Transaction Committee subsequently consented to the request, subject to certain agreed guidelines and procedures.
Julian Dunkerton has since confirmed to the Transaction Committee that he is engaged in discussions with potential financing partners (“Potential Sponsors”) for the purposes of considering options in respect of the Company, which may include a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company, not already owned by him. These discussions are at a preliminary stage and no decisions have been made.

Basically he's had the begging bowl out and potential investors are looking at the leases on shops, shops being empty and brand being in need of a revamp.
Basically be easier to pick up in administration and Dunkerton could buy a nice interest for £25M .....
Too much debt here
Also can't believe the greatest cheerleader has deserted the cause albeit still had a "few shares in here". Think she made £50k on the 1st pump and pretty much lost it all on the way down. But of course she won't disclose that.
Good luck to those still in cus I think you are gonna need it.
What's taking soooo long ......
Much better day today. Hope as Monkfish has said a bottom has been hit. As I posted earlier in week the SP has dropped over 740 pence so a little bounce is due. This was 1500 to 1600 range . Personally see a recovery and price settling around 1200 to 1300 . GLA
