Hotel Chocolat significantly exits the USA – “strong and distinctive D2C brand”?

Describing itself as “a premium British chocolate maker with a strong and distinctive D2C brand”, Hotel Chocolat Group (HOTC) has announced that, whilst it “continues to explore the future development of wholesale opportunities in the US market… the group has decided to cease US direct to consumer sales via its website and exit the in-country warehousing and fulfilment support arrangements”.

The world turns upside down for Hotel Chocolat shareholders!

I am trying to remember the last time I went to a Hotel Chocolat (HOTC) shop. If my memory is correct, it was in the Boxing Day 2019 sale. I cannot remember if I regarded its 50% off prices as cheap or not, but suffice to say it would have felt a bit cheaper than buying before Christmas. I tell you what else has fallen by (nearly) 50% this morning: Hotel Chocolat’s share price!

Much as I like chocolate, I am still avoiding Hotel Chocolat shares

I am trying to remember when I last went to a Hotel Chocolat (HOTC) store. I certainly bought a few Christmas presents in late 2019...and a couple of bargains in early 2020.

So how do I feel after today’s trading update for the ‘13-week period ("Q2") and the 26-week period ("H1") ended 26 December 2021’?
