THG shares plunge after investor presentation
LONDON (Reuters) -Softbank-backed online retailer THG lost over a third of its value on Tuesday after it held a presentation for investors that had been intended to reassure the market it could reverse a recent share price slide. "What I think has prompted the selloff is a number of different factors," said Susannah Streeter, an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. She listed profit warnings in the online retail sector, rising interest yields denting the appeal of growth companies and the planned spin off of THG's beauty arm.
