Just last week, Frasers revealed it had widened its holdings in Boohoo from 5% to 6.7%, after shares in the fashion retailer dropped amid ongoing tensions with Revolution Beauty.

At the time, Frasers explained that Boohoo was an “attractive proposition” due to its “laser focus on young female consumers”.

Frasers Group has recently been on an acquisition spree, purchasing shares in companies including AO, Currys and Asos.
