Halfords Group’s share price fell by around a quarter in response to an unexpected profit warning notice on 28 February, which suggested Halfords would make substantially less profit than the firm forecast roughly a month earlier. At least part of the reason for the profit warning was softening demand in the consumer tyre sector. Halfords stock recovered slightly in early trading on the morning of 29 February, however the five-day chart shows that the company’s share price remains around a quarter down.
