Hi Danf, just look at the share price history, and the narrative of the current decline.
The company booked more revenue and profit, and we are now moving into a time where due to both the natural rise in online shop and the pandemic, Asos are now a very recognised/stable/dominate part of the UK clothes shopping experience.
Consider next Spring to Autumn, potentially being the biggest holiday / travel period for the past couple of years, and this naturally will facilitate an increased in clothing sales.
The current drop is 2 fold:
Firstly: bottleneck of supply caused by a general market condition which is affecting everyone, however this is more a compounded affect by the media and general public panic buying. As such, in real terms this is a blip and speed bump.
Secondly the stepping down of the CEO. This will be resolved within 3 months, the board would have know about this for a while and potentially over the year being scouting for talent. Also even with the CEO being replaced, that does not stop the company which is still operating and making profit.
Taking all of these factors into consideration and looking forward, the reasonable price based on market value and product sector could be a lot higher.
