JD Sports says Iran war and youth unemployment to hit consumer spending

Global sports fashion retailer JD Sports expects its annual profits to drop to between £750m and £850m (down from £852m in the prior year) amid muted consumer spending driven by youth unemployment across Europe and concerns over the Iran war, which could raise energy and fuel costs for its operations. The company reported flat sales in the three months to April, with the UK as its worst-performing market, and plans to use automation and AI to improve supply chain efficiency while avoiding price hikes amid weak demand.
