STOCKHOLM—Sales at fashion retailer H&M grew less than expected in the three months to the end of August, staying below pre-pandemic levels as restrictions kept shoppers away from stores.
The Swedish group said on Wednesday sales grew 9 percent from a year earlier, or 14 percent in local currency terms, to 55.6 billion crowns ($6.46 billion). Analysts polled by Refinitiv on average forecast net sales growth of 14 percent.
