Jambon, did you manage to get back in here? Looks like my top up this morning was quite good timing. Trying a few dummy trades & the mm's are willing to take a shed load off me, but not willing to sell me too many. Looking very good for a further rise.

Not the sign of a company about to go under. Media mogul Lord Waheed Alli certainly knows how to utilise social media!! Looking forward to the first placing tranche to be announced within weeks, at I believe to be 25p

Looks like I was spot on! Koovs PLC Koovs partners with Bollywood icon Taapsee Pannu High Profile social media campaigns driving exceptional reach and engagement London, New Delhi, Rome: Today, Bollywood icon Taapsee Pannu debuts a new social media fashion collaboration with Koovs, the leading western fashion brand for stylish, aspirational 20-somethings in India. Pannu, a high-profile film star in India who has 17 million followers across social media platforms, is currently shooting her latest film co-produced by global star and film mogul Shah Rukh Khan, in Scotland. Taapsee X Koovs campaign will comprise of her travel diaries from Italy's capital. This is the latest in a series of highly successful social media campaigns with celebrities by KOOVS that have to date reached a total social media audience of over 140 million and gained engagement with six million Koovs followers and fans of the stars. In the last three months across these campaigns, Koovs has achieved as high as 80% engagement with its social media audience, regularly double that of its nearest competitor. Mary Turner, CEO of Koovs said: "In May Redseer Consulting reported that 58% of customers surveyed cited social media as the most influential factor in their fashion choices. So, we are very fortunate that these iconic young stars want to collaborate with our brand to bring fashion and fun from a global stage to their fans and followers."

WOW, that was hard work! Managed to buy 50,000 shares in two 25,000 tranches. The first at 21.578p showing as a sell, the other at 22.2p. I personally believe a placing at 25p is on its way. I am investing more on these dips because I believe funding concerns have gone & have total belief in Chairman Lord Waheed Alli.

Have been trying to buy a tranche since the open, but can not get a quote for a decent amount. Anybody else experiencing this?

As I mentioned last week, up & coming Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu has been signed up by Koovs for the launch of their summer campaign. She was recently in Rome promoting her new film & doing a photo shoot for Koovs. I have it on very good authority that the launch of this range of clothing will be within the next few days...….

A 10% drop is not too bad considering the meteoric rise of late. A 25p placing within a few weeks will set a base here for future minimum placements. Demonetisation & GST was a massive setback for the sector as the likes of Amazon & Myntra/ Jabong dumped their excess stock on the market at a fraction of cost price. This was because most products are payed by Cash On Delivery (COD). Koovs have invested over 70 million pounds in their production, design, operations & technology. As a regular visitor to India mainly for business, it is clear to see the rapid growth in e commerce. Koovs are now in the right place at the right time.

Yes Ade, it will succeed! The bottom line is that this has been totally de risked as far as I am concerned with regards to funding. Once I believe that most of these short term rainbow chasing traders have left the building, I may have a cheeky little top up!

The Hardman & co report was commissioned by Koovs & alluded to 25p. Koovs played a blinder with the advertising deal with HT Media. It minimised dilution, which is important for the Chairman Lord Waheed Alli, who happens to be the largest shareholder. They now need cash & that will be done through a placing.

'Strange all sells coming through. No buys' that alone says it all!! Where are all the newcomers today? Scrambling to sell out after getting this all wrong & buying on the spike, moving on to the next big thing. Got anything constructive to say about Koovs or India? YES, it will be painful today, but that is trading for you. I am a seasoned trader, so can hack it. I am comfortable, because I loaded up big style at 5/6p to add to my rather large holding : )

As for these newcomers, they'll probably be gone today after having bought in on the spike. As I said before, this will settle at 20p, then there will be a placing at 25p. Good to see highest ever volumes with half the available free float traded. AIM is full of cowboys & clowns, small time mug punters. Funny how nobody was interested in the Hardman & co report that I first put up on here in March. Funny how nobody was interested in my conversations with Jason Streets. Also funny that most of these newcomers do not even discuss Koovs or India.

Ade- I totally understand where you are coming from. As you know, I have been a buyer since 2016, accumulating a very large holding. I also very much doubt that many newcomers had heard of Koovs even last week. They probably know nothing about demonetisation or GST. As a regular visitor to India, I know the sector, company & e commerce very well. As for someone mentioning that they will not need a placing for a while, may I remind you that there are other costs apart from advertising ie overheads such as paying staff etc! Cash will run out in several weeks. The first 6 MILLION pound placing will be at 25p I believe & there will be heavy director involvement.

Fashion shares jump 62% for 'the Asos of India' Koovs after it announces £24m advertising deal Analysts said Koovs was a great opportunity for investors wanting exposure to Indian shoppers. Jason Streets, analyst at research and consultancy business Hardman & Co, said: ‘Koovs will be an exciting way to play the last big world retail market to move online. ‘The prize, if it gets it right, is a billion-pound company and more. It is likely to be a bumpy, exciting ride, but investors have the reassurance of a highly experienced management team in charge and the backing of a major Indian digital media player.’ http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-5857797/Fashion-shares-jump-62-Asos-India-Koovs-announces-24m-advertising-deal.html

Investors are obviously keen to see Koovs succeed. Memories of Asos are fueling this hope. One good thing about the company right now is that shares are largely still in the basement and priced pretty competitively, so you will be getting plenty of bang for your buck. Here at The Armchair Trader we are big fans of value investing and of India. Koovs seems to combine these traits into one package. The question is whether it can make the digital business model that made Asos such a success work in Asia. https://www.thearmchairtrader.com/news/koovs-stock

Now that funding has virtually been sealed, I will change my stance from no opinion to Strong Buy. This should settle at 20p until the 25p fundraise is announced, which will propel this to circa 40p pre fundraising debacle. The clues were all there, shame that many got scared out of their holdings by a few unscrupulous characters, who are ominously quiet today.

Bollywood 'A' lister Sonakshi Sinha wearing Koovs gear on the front cover of Grazia magazine. Over 10 million followers on Instagram alone @aslisona This time too, the Noor actor enthralled us as she graced the cover of Grazia India, giving street style goals in a pair of mustard trousers from Only, which she teamed with a silk blouse from Marks and Spencer and a jumper from Koovs

Nina Amin, former partner at KPMG UK and chair of the audit committee at Koovs, will lead the investment committee for this cross-border fund https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/startups/unicorn-india-ventures-ascension-ventures-launch-cross-border-fund/64550876

Ref Margins: From the last trading statement, the company's trading margin has continued to increase to 11% (FY17:+4%). For a better understanding, read the following analysis where Hardman & Co state that a GBP 5O Million investment could turn this company into a Billion pound company in a few years. http://hardmanandco.com/docs/default-source/company-docs/koovs-plc-documents/01.03.18-poised-to-clean-up-the-emerging-asos-of-india.pdf

I have it on good authority that up & coming Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu with 10's of millions of followers on social media has been in Rome doing a photo shoot for Koovs for their new summer collection. Not on their Facebook or Instagram yet, but will keep you updated. not a sign of a company about to go under. The recent drop has been on extremely low volumes.
