Pandora Hits Three-Year Low as a Key Adviser Voices His Concerns

Shares in the world’s biggest jewelry maker, which is based in Copenhagen, slumped more than 8 percent at one point on Thursday, dragging it down to its lowest market value since February 2015. Investors started selling on advice from Carnegie, which slashed its share-price target by 43 percent and said clients should brace themselves for a Pandora “profit warning.” Carnegie based its prediction on “poor” first-quarter numbers, as well as concerns the company is doing badly in Italy and clear signs of a contraction in store productivity. At Danske Bank A/S, which owns Pandora stock via its $250 billion wealth management unit, the verdict is that sentiment has shifted and that the period of goodwill the company enjoyed earlier this year is over.
