City File: Body Shop International
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.SHARES in Body Shop International - at 169p - are starting to look attractive now that they no longer trade on the ludicrous multiples of the past. Anita and Gordon Roddick, fresh from their libel case victory against Channel 4, have also sent US investigative journalists packing. ABC News last week abandoned its plans for a programme into the potions franchise.
Shareholders remain jittery, worried about me-too products from Boots and others in the UK. But interim figures this week should be calming. Body Shop is likely to beat the pounds 9m before tax pencilled in by most analysts. There should be good news on borrowings, too.
