The search for a better positioned stock than BOO21 Jan 2021 15:56
I have been doing my review of other stocks in the to re-check if I think BOO provides the best upside for the coming year.
I screen for the following:
- Low debt or manageable debt (cash surplus is good)
- High top line growth 25%+
- Covid neutral stock (covid gainer is better)
- Cannot be loss making
- Special situation causing mis-pricing (holds down prices but has no impact on the core business ie. scandal)
- Strong management
- Upcoming catalyst / event to cause re-rating
Past stocks that I have identified in these situations and made money outsized gains from:
Papa Johns – in 2018 the founder was recorded saying a slur while being taped and was fired. Stock up over 150% + dividends
BP - 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident – hugely oversold after market’s over reaction
William Hill – 2020 – market priced in bankruptcy during the covid crash with store shutdowns. Online did well and got bought out for 150% gains.
BooHoo 2020-2021 – Near perfect covid stock. Two supply chain ‘scandals’ with desperate media campaign against the founders. Bottom line is the end consumer doesn’t care because they don’t read The Times or The Guardian. US growth story continues. US $2,000 cash relief program will push 2021 USA growth off the charts. I see 40%+ growth in 2020.
I just cannot find a better profile for a stock than BOOHOO. Based on the criteria above, can anyone see a company better placed?
