Torrid, the US-based fashion retailer, has seen its shares plummet 21% after it issued weak guidance for the year. Despite beating Q1 earnings forecasts, the company's stock price has taken a hit on worries about its long-term prospects. The company reported net sales of $244.8m in Q1, up 9.3% year-over-year, and adjusted net income of $15.1m, beating analyst estimates of $13.3m. However, Torrid's guidance for the year has raised concerns about the company's ability to sustain its growth trajectory. The company now expects net sales to be in the range of $1.03bn to $1.05bn, below analyst expectations of $1.07bn. This has led to a sharp decline in the company's stock price, with shares falling 21% to $12.34 in early trading.
