We are all here because we think it will go to expectation. Return to growth this half. September onwards improving margins and earnings and revenue growth. A lot of the hard work is done, rightsizing stock and improving balance sheet as well as a faster more agile business. If there is going to be a takeover it will be this year.. if not we get the full turnaround and gradually improving updates with the business becoming more and more valuable. The Market Cap won't stay This low, market pressures will eventually take hold. :)
Separate point, 60% of stock is now being sold at full price.. a lot of that could be from March onwards which won't show on the margins/revenue until second half reporting.
Whilst the turnaround is ongoing I'm liking the longer reporting procedures, it gives ASOS a lot more to report on when they do report and show significant progress being made.
I suspect in FY25 going forwards newsflow will start to become more frequent again.
