The gold price rally continued earlier today after the precious metal hit a record peak of more than $3970 an ounce.
B&M European Value Retail SA warned that first-half profits are set to fall 28% after sales contracted in the second quarter. Total revenue for the 26 weeks to 27 September is expected to come in at £2.75 billion, up 4.0% from the prior year, the discount retailer said in a trading update this morning. UK like-for-like sales rose 0.1% over the half, with a 1.3% increase in the first quarter swinging to a 1.1% decline in the second, which was a weaker result than even management expected. Adjusted EBITDA for the first-half is expected to fall to around £198 million from £274 million a year earlier, with full-year EBITDA anticipated to fall to £510-560 million, from £620 million the year before. CEO Tjeerd Jegen, who took over in June, has launched a turnaround strategy.
