Story Highlights

Pick the best stocks and maximize your portfolio:

An announcement from Shoe Zone ( (GB:SHOE) ) is now available.

Shoe Zone has reported challenging trading conditions due to reduced consumer confidence and unseasonal weather, which have negatively impacted revenue and profits. The recent UK government budget has further strained the company with increased costs from National Insurance and National Living Wage hikes, leading to planned store closures and a revised profit forecast of at least £5.0 million for FY2025, down from £10.0 million. Consequently, Shoe Zone will not pay a final dividend for FY2024.
