Three things you need to know in the financial markets today from investment writer, Tony Cross.
1. Naked Wines full year results see sales growth continue post pandemic
Naked Wines (LON:WINE) issued full year results this morning for the period to 28th March. Total sales continued to increase, although the posted 5% is significantly more modest that the lock-down driven gains seen a year ago. There’s strong retention of customers and the adjusted EBIT came in at £2m versus a loss of £1.5m for FY21. Sales for the current year are forecast to come in broadly flat.
