Boohoo (BOO) doesn’t appear to be in season with investors, as the share price has fallen by around a fifth since the online retailer announced its interim results at the end of last month. The focus was on margins, which management signalled will be around 9 to 10 per cent for the full year, down from the 10 to 10.6 per cent range in previous guidance. Boohoo is sticking to the low prices that it has become known for, while investing in marketing for its recently acquired brands Nasty Gal and PrettyLittleThing, along with funding plans to expand its distribution arm.
Joint chief executive Carol Kane has sold 4.65m ordinary shares in Boohoo at an average price of 230p a share, banking around £10.7m. She still has just over 46m shares in the online retailer, or about 4 per cent of share capital. Other members of the management team have sold shares this year to keep up with demand from institutional investors, in addition to issuing around 22.7m new shares to raise £50m.
