In the report, the firms Co-CEO’s Christoph Barchewitz and Patrick Schmidt said: Over the last few months customer acquisition, Marketplace share growth and brand relationships have been accelerated. We have continued to execute against our strategic priorities with a focus on capturing the significant fashion and lifestyle e-commerce opportunity in our markets.”
GFG’s share price exploded higher after the news. It closed yesterday at €2.71 per share and is now trading at €3.21 per share after the push upwards.
It is starting to retrace, but, I think if it can hold the €2.90 level, then we may see another move higher in the medium term.
