Farfetch shares suffered a double dip on Friday after the company reported widening losses and its acquisition of Italian streetwear group New Guards left investors with more questions than answers.

Farfetch stock value dropped to less than half their listing price, as "concerns over Farfetch’s earnings outlook came as analysts cautioned that its purchase of New Guards could keep it in the red for longer than had been expected," reported the Financial Times.
