B&M shares tank as analysts wait for new CEO's update on recent trading

  • B&M European Value Retail SA (LSE:BME) shares were the biggest faller on the FTSE 250, down 14% after the group published final results that analysts said were largely in line with forecasts. The preliminary results did "not contain many surprises" and were broadly in line with expectations, said analyst Wayne Brown at Panmure Liberum, while the "outlook remains uncertain" he bemoaned that the results did not contain any information on current trading.
