Burberry now a 'takeover target' as the fashion label gets booted off FTSE 100 after 15 years
Briefly

Burberry's exit from the FTSE 100 reflects a combination of strategic missteps and declining demand, largely due to economic pressures in China heavily impacting the luxury market.
With Burberry now moving to FTSE 250, it highlights a significant 70% loss in share price and exposes it to possible operating losses, as stated by chairman Gerry Murphy.
The resignation of former CEO Jonathan Akeroyd, who acknowledged the company's disappointing performance, illustrates the ongoing challenges within Burberry amidst a struggling luxury sector.
The pressure on luxury brands like Burberry is exacerbated by the broader issues in China's economy, as shown by recent statistics indicating weaknesses in manufacturing.
