What could go wrong in the next month - nothing in my opinion
Distribution network has increased dramatically, I was in Asda where it had sold out.
Online numbers for Boots / Amazon are down, however this will be part due to more distribution channels and part due to the fact it’s summer where ED issues are less prominent
US are launching in Autumn going into winter where ED issues are more prominent.
We have results day on 10th Sept, share price will only hype up until that point
Likelihood they will confirm orders fulfilled for worldwide / regional rather than specific countries so the overall momentum will be positive due to the number or European launches
Order figures (licensing agreement figures) may now come out for the US. These numbers I imagine will represent a significant increase on previous given the buying capacity / distribution network of Haleon
As we have ongoing orders for launches FUM accounts will continue to look good. Impossible to have bad accounts given the profit margin of circa 50% from memory on production.
So much momentum will be about to start for the US launch! Likely some profit taking in January, but if product and marketing have been received well then no reason to sell for the next couple of years.
Why hasn’t the share price grown consistently? Very very difficult for real traders to get involved when volumes are low, you physically can’t buy without a 10-15% premium which is hard to justify mentally, you need an exit strategy which will be the US announcement of initial sales figures.
However with the US marketing more and more traders will get involved from the US and at that point volumes will start to rally, after that bigger traders will see the potential to get in and out.
Price prediction 65 in the next 10weeks then potential rally to 120 once we understand US sales figures and see that Amazon 100k units sold a month figure.
Remember sales on boots online were 5-6k units day at launch - “last sold 3seconds ago”
