THG has recently been the subject of intense public scrutiny after its CEO Matthew Moulding was awarded £830 million after the company’s valuation hit certain targets set during its IPO on the London Stock Exchange.
The stock later gave up most of its gains to trade just 3% higher at the time of writing. It remains to be seen whether investors shall keep buying THG stock in future given the public outcry regarding the excessive pay to its top executives and shareholders.
