RE: 5 good reasons why to buy Koovs19 Mar 2019 09:15
thechancers- at this point in time, there are a few good reasons to consider buying into Koovs now.
The current management have failed miserably in India BUT it has been strengthened recently. Billionaire Kishore Biyani- the retail King of India via Future Group will soon hold just under 30% of the company. His daughter Avni Biyani (extremely successful with Foodhall) became a non exec Director in January. She will probably answer to her Uncle Rakesh Biyani. I personally believe she is being groomed for the top job, which is currently held by the inept failure CEO Mary Turner.
When the Future Group deal is completed in the next week, Future Group will add another person to the Koovs Board to strengthen it.
With this announcement, we should also hear of progress with the FLFL tie up, which looks to have been extremely slow thus far.
April should see a trading update for YE 2019, where investors will be looking for improvements in revenues & margins (I believe it will be promising). Koovs have been very active with their advertising in recent months.
Hopefully the Institutional Investor Ruffer LLP who once held 15 million shares will have finished dumping. I still believe the large sells & selling recently (inc the 75,000 shares sell today) has been them. Once done, those investors waiting on the side lines could start buying in. I personally believe that they are virtually done.
With the share price this low- it is virtually priced to fail- which it won't.
Indian business men/ women are extremely shrewd & savvy & they will hopefully be looking at cutting costs- especially as this company has spent, spent, spent millions of pounds since the 150p IPO with very little to show for it thus far.
To be fair, Lord Alli doesn't take a wage. Turner takes £50k but does get millions of share options.
CFO Robert Pursell gets £175k
Non Exec Director Emily Sheffield gets £75k
Non Exec Director Nina Amin gets £50k
Non Exec Director Baroness Rebuck gets £50k
Paying these people good wages would be acceptable if the company was delivering- but it hasn't. I am hoping they will all be replaced soon.
Could be an exciting week ahead- good luck!
