JD Sports Fashion PLC’s stocks tumbled after the company lowered its annual profit forecast for FY25, predicting profits between £915 million and £935 million. This revision caused the stock to open with a nearly 10% loss. The decline was driven by challenges in the UK and U.S. markets, including weak trading performance and increased promotional activities that affected sales. Although like-for-like revenue fell by 1.5% in November and December, there was a slight recovery in December. The company reported solid gross margins and stable inventory, with a goal of maintaining a 48% gross margin for the year. Analysts issued moderate buy ratings, reflecting a mixed outlook due to the company’s challenges and growth potential in organic revenue and footwear sales.
