True, a very much more competitive market these days. However BOO ain't going away is it, revenue ok, assets ok, liabilities ok, online demand is growing, distribution hubs growing, RevB very interesting, distribution costs decreasing etc etc etc
I wouldn't be surprised if it went lower, but IMHO BOO will bounce back stronger. It might not be later this year, hopefully it will, but could possibly be next year once, if you believe the experts, inflation is under control. The true extent of the inflationary impact on the wider economy and world has not been fully observed and will not be able to be quantified for years to come. However, I thin BOO, from this low point, has a bright future now that the ethical manufacturing issues appear to be behind us, and, hopefully, the macro circumstances improve. If BOO can survive the next year, without a takeover approach, it should do very well so long as owners get some better help and governance. BOO has a good market share, to build on this they need to recruit better, target different demographics, and expand, carefully, in to other related fashion arrears to combine efficiency gains in ecommerce both home and abroad.
