IG Design Group Sells US Division to Focus on Profitable Markets

The latest update is out from IG Design ( (GB:IGR) ).

IG Design Group plc has announced the sale of its US division, Design Group Americas (DGA), to HUK 168 Limited, part of Hilco Capital group, for a nominal upfront payment. This strategic move allows IG Design to exit a challenging and loss-making segment, focusing instead on its more profitable markets in the UK, Europe, and Australia. The disposal is expected to simplify the company’s operations and mitigate financial risks, although it may initially impact financial performance due to transaction costs and the inclusion of DGA’s trading results. The company is securing new financing arrangements to support its ongoing operations.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:IGR) stock is a Buy with a £325.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on IG Design stock, see the GB:IGR Stock Forecast page.

Recent strategic moves, like asset sales, provide positive momentum but are not enough to offset broader market challenges.
