AIM - LOSERS
----------
Mpac Group PLC, down 34% at 261.70p, 12-month range 245.00p-665.40p. The packaging company expects profit for 2022 to be significantly below market expectations, as a result of supply chain disruption and inflationary pressures affecting its operational efficiencies and margins. Initially, Mpac said it had made progress in the first half of 2022 despite a tough trading environment, ending the period with a strong order book. As a result, the company expects revenue to come in line with expectations, and be ahead of the same period a year prior. However, Mpac noted an increase in macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility in the global supply chain. Mpac now expects profit for 2022 to be significantly below market expectations.
----------
Joules Group PLC, down 19% at 26.70p, 12-month range 24.79p-275.00p. The lifestyle brand confirms it is in talks with KPMG International Ltd to shore up its balance sheet, as the retailer grapples with a cost of living crisis and inflationary pressures. The company was responding to a Sunday Times report which stated that KPMG’s debt advisory arm is exploring options to solidify the retailer’s cash position. Options being mulled include a capital raise, the Sunday Times reported. The Sunday Times added the Leicestershire, England-based firm is moving away from unprofitable deals and Chinese suppliers to mitigate supply chain disruptions.
