Prelims and 1Q Update | On Schedule
Koovs FY/1Q results/update showed progress on both a transactional front and in terms of re-establishing the differentiation given by its branding that should underpin longer term prospects.
1Q trading has been encouraging with the yoy increase in visits 148% particularly impressive in the context of the disruption to the model over the post 2016/17 period. Other metrics also look positive and we expect further progress as the business moves forward on a properly funded basis and quarterly updates are provided
The resumption of a more normalised model has been allowed by management’s success at re-capitalising the model. This in turn has benefited from renewed investment from the HT Media Group and the new investment by the Future Retail Group through its FLFL apparel business.
The Indian e-commerce market remains at a very early stage with major potential. The 2016 de-monetisation and 2017 introduction of General Sales Tax (GST) highlight the un-even nature of early-stage market development. But we believe that government measures are generally very supportive of the development of the market and are supported by major private and public infrastructure development.
As an early stage sales-growth-led online retailer valuation comparison is difficult. We have adopted the view for now that a premium valuation of sales (around 150% of 3/22E sales) balances the substantial upside potential with the challenges of being a small player in a market where significant market forces need to be negotiated. Our Price Target is maintained at 20p.

If the warehouse move had been managed and conveyed to shareholders properly I’d say it would have been a good move. However with the recent barrage of complaints on social media I’d say Koovs are now unfortunately going backwards once again.
This coupled with the fact they have been unable to complete on the second tranche of fund raising means they are yet again left vulnerable and as the stock price indicates priced to fail.
I am a long standing shareholder and have finally given up and will be selling out.
I wish everyone well.
This article mentions Koovs and really does highlight the serious money flowing into India from very credible companies.

Surely we are due a re-rating before too long
The catalyst for a re-rating is surely the completion of the funding which cannot be too far away now.
The price now is the same as it was last year when Koovs had no funds and the business was on hold.
Now we have improved margins massively improved sales coupled with ever increasing social media exposure.
Let’s get to fair value at least please.
Some posters should consider spellchecker before posting it may add some credibility to ones post
In India, the e-commerce market is growing at a rapid pace, says a report by Deloitte India and Retail Association of India, which predicts the sector will account for $84 billion by 2021, from about $24 billion in 2017.
Koov's will obviously benefit from this as the knowledgeable people within the country that have invested realise.
Certainly the end of the price being in single digits for sure

A perfect summery and anyone who is serious about making long term wealth should keep reading.
Take a look at the chart of ASOS since listing which really highlights your thoughts.

The funding has been approved and the additional funds will arrive at a premium of 100% so clearly the share price is wrong.

This month will not only see the additional funds but positive news on trading so the current depressed price will be way behind us.
Smart investors buy when they can.
I’ve never sold out and have no intention of there are too many positive things happening and when sentiment changes coupled with positive trading news that’s the perfect storm.
How refreshing to read some positive posts and genuine discussion rather than the usual idiotic rambling. One thing for certain is @ 6p Koovs is the wrong price for no other reason than some extremely experienced and well educated people have invested significant funds @ 15p. Any news from here on will mean the stock price will rerate to a sensible level and from then on its all about actual growth.

The price has to move from Tuesday once the funding is agreed at 15p
