Temple & Webster Group Ltd's stock plummeted 25.49% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting a sharp negative reaction from investors.
The sell-off was triggered by analyst commentary questioning the quality of the company's recent sales growth. Jarden analyst Aryan Norozi suggested in a market talk that improved growth figures may reflect accounting treatment related to easing order backlogs rather than genuine underlying performance. The analyst also noted that the company's current EBITDA run rate indicates it is tracking below market consensus for the full fiscal year.
