RE: OCDO - Fantastic RNS/Half Year Results Here Today In Every Single Aspect!17 Jul 2025 12:22
Yet this was in that article posted earlier. There is still much to be done and I doubt the Shorters will be too bothered:-
Mark Crouch, Market Analyst for eToro, said: "Ocado continues to test the limits of investor patience. Once viewed as a pioneer in grocery logistics, the company’s downward spiral has become a case study in hype over substance". But is that now about to change?
"Management claims the business will be cash flow positive by next year, a target that, while encouraging, comes after several years of missed milestones. The market has learned to treat such guidance with caution. Much of Ocado’s appeal has rested on its technology licensing model, but the pace of adoption has been slow, and the returns even slower. The tie-up with M&S continues to offer some operational ballast, yet it doesn’t resolve the broader question of whether Ocado’s core proposition can generate sustained, profitable growth.
And until Ocado demonstrates that it can convert technical sophistication into reliable financial performance, investors may be right to remain sceptical."
