Burberry’s declining share price has caught the attention of potential takeover groups, with shares dropping by over 18% this year and nearly 56% over the past 12 months, despite a slight recovery on Thursday. The weakened British pound adds to its appeal as a relative bargain. Although Burberry’s market valuation stands at £4.1 billion ($5.62 billion), higher than other UK businesses like Asos and Boohoo Group, its luxury sector presence makes it attractive to luxury groups, sovereign wealth funds, and private equity firms. The recent Kering profit warning heightened speculation about Burberry’s vulnerability to takeover, emphasizing its unique position as the only major British brand operating independently. Despite being identified as a prime takeover target, Burberry has not commented on the speculation.
