Tempur has announced shareholders can expect significant first quarter losses after prices hit a new low on Monday, March 17th.
Shares fell 37.7 per cent, or $6.36 to $10.50 by close, having opened on just $10 and slipping below that marker to a $9.51 low for the first time ever, according to Yahoo! Finance.
While the figures did recover somewhat, to close on $12.93 for the week, shareholders have now been warned to expect a single digit decrease in quarterly sales, which has been blamed on a slump in sales in North America, the website reports.
Chief executive of Tempur-Pedic H Thomas Bryant commented: "We have reviewed our cost structure and are taking actions to reduce expenses while remaining committed to our business model and focus on premium products."
Tuesday 18th opened on $10.53, hitting a high of $11.50 and a low of $10.45 to close on exactly $11.
Wednesday's figures opened on $11, with a high of $11.70 and a low of the $11 opening, to close on $11.65 Thursday, March 20th opened on $11.56, with a high that took shares back above the $12 mark to $12.95, with a low that never fell below the opening price leading to a $12.93 close.
Tempur will announce its first quarter results in April.
