Will ASOS break support, or will it rise again to 4000p? (+15%)
- 5 touches off rising support since December.
- Will the pattern repeat itself, rising back to recent levels of 4000p? (+15%)
- 10th April. ASOS H1 pretax profit misses expectations coming in at £4m, expected £5.4m; HY retail sales beat YoY (£1.281bn v £1.131bn). Hurt by poor trade in crucial run-up to Christmas and logistical hiccups. Confident of an improved performance in 2H.
