Primark's Spinoff Removes the Safety Net -- Market Talk
Dow Jones04-21
0653 GMT - As AB Foods confirms the spinoff of Primark, the latter will now be judged on its own merits, Robinhood UK's Dan Lane says in a note. Although Primark has been a consistent bright spot for the London-listed group, it has been given a buffer by the other AB Foods units during its weaker business periods, Lane adds. As retail is in a bit of a precarious situation, when Primark is left as a standalone it will differ from what investors previously saw for the overall business, Lane adds. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
