Boohoo
Just five years ago, Boohoo shares were trading at £4.33, valuing the online fashion retailer at more than £4.5billion.
Today, the stock is changing hands at just 21.4p, and the business is worth little more than £300 million.
Mistakes, mishaps and mismanagement have hit the business hard, alongside regular beatings from Mike Ashley's Fraser Group, which owns 27 per cent of Boohoo.
Amid the carnage, an unlikely success story emerged – Debenhams: bought out of administration in 2021 and now a profitable, online marketplace for around 15,000 brands.
The man behind the turnaround, Dan Finley, is now running Boohoo in its entirety.
Early days have proved challenging. In March, Finley announced that the group would change its name to Debenhams and the group's youth-focused brands, Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and MAN, would adopt the marketplace model of their older sibling, alongside Karen Millen, another brand within the group.
Finley seemed optimistic but brokers were unsettled by falling revenues and the prospect of short-term pain and marked the shares down.
The stock has slumped nearly 30 per cent since Finley stepped in. Cautious investors should watch and wait but, if Finley manages to execute his plans, the shares could increase substantially over the next few years.
