RE: Boohoo on fire!27 Nov 2025 18:33
Great news, absolutely flown today. But really depends on the write up. Hargreaves Lansdown put:
"To be clear, the group remains loss-making. A nearly £40mn equity raise in 2024 means the balance sheet’s in reasonable health for now. It’s also provided some breathing room while the CEO Dan Finley, executes his strategy change.
Tensions with its largest shareholder (Frasers) remain high, causing boohoo to push through a new management compensation package without shareholder approval. Alongside a murky track record of labour exploitation, elevated corporate governance risks are something for investors to be aware of.
Despite the pivot in strategy, our concerns about Boohoo haven’t disappeared. We’ll need to see key customer metrics, sales and profits trending in the right direction before we get too excited. The lowly valuation may look attractive at face value, but it reflects the major challenges ahead, as well as a competitive retail market."
