(Reuters) - WH Smith's shares fell 9% on Thursday, after the British airport retailer flagged lower growth at start of the second-half after a strong travel boom last year.
The group, which runs stores in airports and train stations, logged an adjusted pre-tax profit of 32 million pounds ($40 million) for the six months ended Feb. 29, compared to 43 million pounds last year.
