City analysts have warned Superdry that “speed is of the essence” if it wants to survive after the fashion retailer issued a profit warning and announced it was exploring an equity raise of 20% earlier today.

Superdry said in a statement that it is considering an equity raise of up to 20% to “further strengthen its balance sheet”, which is “fully supported” by boss Julian Dunkerton. 

The fashion retailer said it had withdrawn its previous full-year profit guidance of “broadly breakeven” and now expects full-year revenue to be between £615m and £635m.
