Retailer Halfords shares slump 19% after profit outlook cut
Shares in Britain's Halfords slumped 19% on Thursday after it cut annual profit forecast and the motor parts and cycling retailer said it was struggling with labour shortages and weaker demand for bicycles amid a cost-of-living crisis. British businesses are battling inflationary pressures and tepid demand as soaring prices of everything from energy to food are forcing consumers to curtail non-essential spending as they try to make ends meet. Halfords adult bike sales shrank 12% in the final three months of 2022 from a year ago as a surge in demand for bicycles during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic faded.
