Suggesting that Boohoo (LSE: BOO) might be one of the best stocks to buy for 2022 sounds nothing short of fanciful right now. The fast-fashion giant’s value has plummeted this year as increased costs, corporate governance concerns, reduced sales guidance and higher levels of returns have all pushed investors to the exits.
It’s undoubtedly been a tricky year and problems may persist. However, the share price capitulation looks overdone to these eyes. Boohoo is far from being financially vulnerable. Thanks to some canny acquisitions over the pandemic, it also boasts a far larger portfolio of brands. The purchase of Debenhams, for example, opens up a lot of new markets, including make-up and homewares.
Simplistic as it sounds, it can often be the case that this year’s losers turn into next year’s winners. I wonder if this might be the case with Boohoo. If the next update is even remotely better than forecast, we could see a squeeze on short sellers and the share price could fly. Surely the margin of safety has never been better?
