Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
Short term I see volatility, perhaps even re-testing the 200 lows, need a firm statement from Boohoo to provide investors with much needed re-assurance. The decision to cut ties with X,Y,Z, plans to go from 40/60 to 100 overseas etc etc.
Another case of knowing nothing about the business or target audience- if you think students or 16-24 year olds are going to stop going out or buying clothes from the cheapest online retailer (by a country mile) then you need a pint of cop yourself on
fake news, even if this was real they would be probing the outsourced supplier not Boohoo, unless of course they can prove Boohoo went into business with the supplier knowing this was the case- which will be v v hard to prove.
It seems as though the leverage used was that some employees were claiming benefits and thus were happy to work for X and if they were earning above Y the universal credit benefit would not apply
Way too many people commenting on a business they clearly do not know and a generation they clearly do not understand either- someone yesterday claimed 'youngsters will be boycotting' ludicrous claims, unfortunately, the bulk of the 16-24 year olds will not care, they will continue getting their fashion fix at low prices and continue contributing to the fastest-growing retail business in years.
just on your point, Boohoo have been running for a number of years now and it has taken X amount of years for a specific negative piece of press to come out in relation to factory conditions etc, with the exception of the usual negative press toward fast fashion in the general sense
Another great opportunity Monday to get this stock on the cheap, Q2 results day everyone will come to the realisation that, rather sadly, none of their customer base in the broad sense, care about the factory owners using part time loopholes to pay below the FT minimum wage and in general this negative factory condition press, the results will be stellar (I'm predicting the best results yet) and fundamentals will kick in and drive this stock back to where it belongs >350. The average retail investors whom basing off HLs platform traded volume, most traded stock etc will equally not care about poor factory conditions 6 months down the line, yes we may see some funds close at their positions when ESG questions start to kick in but, this stock has arguably been the biggest contributor to every UK Value fund for the past 5/6 year it would take due process and conclusive claims. Hoping to top up @ 250 and anything below that would be Christmas come early.
Two regulatory bodies have effectively cleared them, having carried out various inspections- if anything, this is another fantastic opportunity to pick up this stock sub 300 before it tanks up as q2 results day looms closer.
