#THG – 2023 still a loss, argues “now delivering operating leverage”

I have been pondering why THG (THG) reported that September 2023 saw a recovery to sales growth (albeit marginal) after a piss poor summer. It is not alone, has the economy really started to pick up? In short: NO! Look at what happened in the first week of September 2022. The Queen died.
I guess if I had floated a business at a grossly inflated 500p share price less than three years ago, getting well paid brokers to overlook shocking corporate governance and a mad valuation I would be pissed off with bears who pointed this out and have coined it in as the shares have crashed to just 90p. Matt Moulding of THG (THG) cashed in to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds in that September 2020 IPO and has no shame.
A bit over six months ago I observed that there were “so many reasons to keep on avoiding The Hut Group”, which we now know as THG (THG). Since I wrote then the shares have continued post IPO shocking performance and today sit at a circa one quid share price, having been over four quid back in October (and having had an original IPO price of 500p a year before that). So is there an opportunity to buy now or is the smartest view to keep on avoiding?
