Digital sports rights company Perform Group saw its share price more than halve on Thursday – stripping more than £600m off its stock market value – after issuing a profits warning as trading deteriorated in the final three months of the year.

Investors took the news badly with the one-time stockmarket darling taking a 58% share price fall, down 247p to 180p.
