Burberry’s Profit Has Dropped 24 Percent – 19/11/09

The big news today is that Burberry have announced a 24 percent slump in their profits for the first half of the financial year.

But the luxury brand is not down and out. They’re looking to the future. They “expect to perform well in the second half of its fiscal year as it is selling a greater proportion of its goods through its own stores, and is continuing to trim costs in the face of the economic downturn,” according to The Wall Street Journal.
