** Co forecasts full-year core profit below analyst consensus
** Analysts on average expect annual core earnings between 133.8 mln and 156.5 mln pounds ($176.88 mln- $206.89 mln), according to a company compiled consensus
** THG is also looking to demerge Ingenuity, its technology services arm, as it seeks to shore up its balance sheet with its cash-generative nutrition and beauty businesses
** "Although familiar Nutrition headwinds see us lower our FY24 EBITDA estimate by -13% today, we take encouragement from the improving exit rate and strong performances from Beauty and Ingenuity," Jefferies says
** THG says it would apply to transfer its listing to the new regime created for commercial companies, which it expects would improve passive investment flows and liquidity
