More than €2.3bn has now been wiped off the value of the plc since March. With the co-op owning 31.5% of the plc, that sees the co-op taking a €800m hit on the value of its stake in the plc.
The reason for the sharp fall in the share price is a weaker than expected set of results for the first half of Glanbia’s 2019 financial year. In the results the company issued a profit warning, with a reduced outlook for its full-year profits.
The profit warning comes after a weak set of first-quarter numbers. The half-year results showed a 30% fall in profits at the performance nutrition division.
