What it does: Victorian Plumbing is a leading online retailer of bathroom and other household accessories
By Christopher Ruane. Victorian Plumbing (LSE:VIC) is due to publish its full-year results in December – and I expect them to be strong. The company has already said that its financial year “finished positively with revenue, earnings, and cash flow all ahead of consensus market expectations.”
The retailer is continuing to book the sort of revenues it made during the pandemic, which was a huge step up from its prior levels. That could form a strong foundation for long-term profits.
There are risks. Victorian Plumbing has been building stockpiles to mitigate against supply chain issues, but that could hurt cashflow. Less consumer spending could hurt sales and profits.
But I expect long-term demand to be robust and the company has a large, growing customer base. It is already profitable and enjoys a net cash position. I have been taking advantage of its current share price to build my stake by buying more shares.
