Shares of Swedish retailer H&M ended up down 8% at 09:05 a.m. London time on Wednesday, right after the firm introduced weaker product sales and the shock departure of its chief executive.
H&M gross sales were being 1% lower for 2023 in nearby currencies, and 4% lower year-on-12 months in the fourth quarter.
In an unpredicted leadership shake-up, previous CEO Helena Helmersson, who has been in the part for four years, will be changed by Daniel Ervér.
In a assertion, Helmersson mentioned she was stepping down with “blended thoughts” and was very pleased of how the firm navigated the pandemic and geopolitical troubles.
“Having said that, it has been pretty demanding at periods for me individually,” she claimed.
Ervér is at present the head of the H&M Brand and has been at the corporation for 18 a long time.
