Pandora boxes clever with a change of tactic
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One of the lucky charms sold by Pandora, the jeweller chaired by former Asda boss Allan Leighton, may be paying off for the company itself.
The Danish jeweller last year saw more than two thirds wiped off its market value following a profits warning. Yesterday, however, Pandora posted a lower-than-forecast fall in revenues — down 18 per cent to 1.4 billion kroner (£151.7m).
Last year, it blamed its slump on its attempt to shift from inexpensive charm bracelets to more exclusive bling. But its customers fled without new ones rushing in. Chief executive Björn Gulden said its strategy of offering jewellers the chance to swap unpopular jewellery for those that were most popular with local shoppers was paying off.
