, with a gain of 5 points to trade at 20,765, helped by a jump in Burberry (BRBY) shares.

The luxury fashion brand climbed 7% to 885p after confirming it will cut 1,700 jobs as part of a cost-cutting drive, following a 117% slump in pre-tax profits in its last financial year. This takes it to a £66m loss from a profit of £383m the previous year.

The disastrous year was somewhat offset by more positive recent quarters, which Streeter said ‘indicate that the brand turnaround is smartening up’ and the refreshed strategy under new chief executive Joshua Shulman is working. However, she warned ‘patience is wearing thin’.

Panmure Liberum: Market underestimating Debenhams

Shares in Boohoo Group (DEB) – which is in the process of rebranding to Debenhams – have been ‘unduly penalised’ by US tariff turmoil, and the market is underestimating the stalwart retailer, says Panmure Liberum.

Analyst Wayne Brown retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 35p on the stock, which was formerly known as Boohoo but rebranded to Debenhams in March despite a vote by Sports Direct owner Frasers Group (FRAS) to block it.

The shares were trading down 1.2% on Wednesday at 20p.

Brown said the shares have been ‘unduly penalised’ in the wake of tariff concerns.

‘While the market has focused on the removal of the de minimis exemption on Chinese imports into the US, we see this as a potential tailwind for Debenhams’ youth brands,’ he said.

‘In parallel, the UK government’s ongoing review of low value consignment relief could serve as an additional catalyst, provided swift implementation.’

There is still a ‘core equity story’ at Debenhams that centres on the group’s high-growth marketplace model, with a 12% earnings margin expected in full-year 2025.

‘We see this platform as the key driver of long-term value creation, and believe the market is materially underestimating its impact on group profitability and strategic optionality,’ said Brown.

Mike Ashley-controlled Frasers Group owns around 29% of the shares, according to Refinitiv data.

French CAC 40 ticked 0.56% higher at 8:02 am CET, while the FTSE 100 gained 0.48%, the DAX increased by 0.54%, and the Euro Stoxx advanced by 0.32%.

The euro and the pound both traded flat against the dollar at 8:04 am CET to sell for 1.12327 and 1.32386, respectively.

E-commerce platform THG (THG) made ‘significant strategic progress’ in 2024 and the attractions its story are becoming apparent, according to Jefferies.

Analyst Andrew Wade reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 75p on the beauty and nutrition sales platform. On Tuesday, it was trading down 10.7% at 25p.

The group closed out a ‘year of significant strategic progress’ as THG reported full-year 2024 numbers in line with guidance and expectations.

The first quarter saw a return to marginal growth in the nutrition business and ‘an improving trend through the period’.

‘Notwithstanding a tough first quarter, beauty has maintained its two-year growth trajectory, and THG has reiterated its full-year 2025 guidance,’ said Wade.

Following the completion of the Ingenuity demerger and the passing of external headwinds, as well as a return to growth in nutrition, Wade said the attractions of the THG equity story are becoming increasingly apparent.

He points to ‘two leading digital-first global brands in the growing beauty and nutrition markets, margin upside, and robust cash generation’.
