Puma's share price fell on Wednesday, after the sports company reported that its business was hit in the fourth quarter and warned that the external challenges facing the business may continue until 2024.
Arne Freundt, CEO of Puma, warned in a statement:
"By 2024, we expect geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges and highly volatile currencies to persist."
Many retailers are struggling because of high interest rates and uncertain economic prospects during the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, which have affected consumer spending.
Freundt said: "We are in a better position in early 2024 than in early 2023." "We have cleared the inventory, we have a product line with exciting product novelty and innovation, and we will soon launch our new brand activities. We continue to be hungry and have the ambition to continue to seize market share. "
