Revolution Beauty (REVB) is on the road to recovery and becoming a business worth ‘multiple times more’ than its current value, says Liberum.

Analyst Wayne Brown retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 75p on the beauty brand, which climbed 11% to 25p on Wednesday after returning to profit in full-year 2024 after a troubling two years that saw it run into accountancy problems and suffer a share suspension.

The results – the first in a two-year turnaround strategy – reported a recovery in margins, which supported a ‘self-funding strategy that should start to deliver revenue growth as we move through the second half of 2025’, said Brown.

‘The reset of the business is taking hold and will allow for more focused new product development, improved sell-through, greater stock turn and freeing up of cash to invest in the core master brand’

Although Brown said it would take time to rebuild credibility with investors, he is ‘hopeful the signs of recovery become more evident in the second half of this year’ and said the turnaround should ‘result in a business worth multiple times more than the current market value’.

Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group is pitching its new buy-now, pay-later product to some of Britain’s largest online retailers as chief executive Michael Murray sets his sights on taking a slice of Klarna’s business

Frasers takes on Klarna in buy-now, pay-later battle

Mike Ashley’s group pitches Klarna-like product to retailers including Asos and Boohoo

JAMES SPEAKMAN FOR THE TIMES

Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group is pitching its new buy-now, pay-later product to some of Britain’s largest online retailers as chief executive Michael Murray sets his sights on taking a slice of Klarna’s business.

Frasers, which owns Sports Direct and House of Fraser, has lobbied retailers including Asos, Boohoo, Currys and AO to offer Frasers Plus as a purchase option to their customers. The efforts shed some light on the logic behind Frasers’ decision to build up substantial stakes in each of those companies.

Frasers Plus is an app-based credit service that allows shoppers to pay for products in three interest-free monthly instalments. Interest is then charged at a variable APR of 29.9 per cent.

Frasers has pointed out to retailers that its service is free

The price of white and yellow metal increased on Thursday after the latest data on the United States inflation and softer-than-expected retail sales in the country spurred hope that the Federal Reserve could implement at least one rate cut this year, seemingly raising the price of non-yielding assets, such as gold and silver.

Central bank decisions around the world also took the center focus today, with the People's Bank of China (PBoC) deciding to keep its one- and five-year loan prime rates steady. Investors will carefully watch monetary policy decisions by the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank (SNB), which are expected later today. The price of precious metals appeared to be further bolstered by the growing tensions in the Middle East.

Silver surged 2.20% to sell at $30.42 per ounce at 1:25 am ET. Gold gained 0.56% to trade at $2,341.85 per ounce at the same time.
