To note Shore Cap did comment :
Shore Capital said: “The news to negotiate its debt is, however, concerning, to us, and signals perhaps a weaker financial constitution, but if successful could provide greater reassurance around liquidity and finance costs.”
The UK broker added that Boohoo is continuing to struggle to gain traction in the US and is suffering intense competition from the likes of Shein in Europe.
Concerns were also raised about the group’s falling customer numbers, order frequency and value, as well as its top-line sales growth and its ability to maintain market share.
Therefore, Shore Capital has reiterated its “hold” rating for the stock, and while it believes it is more exposed to the marketplace than Asos, it still sees more value in companies like M&S and Next.
