Despite the share price rise today, I keep avoiding shares in AO World
By Chris Bailey | Tuesday 22 November 2022
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
I think it is fair to say there are not many fans of AO World (AO.) shares on this website, as a number of us (including myself) have written pieces highlighting the reasons to aggressively avoid shares in a company which struggles to make a profit and generate free cash. So, whilst the shares are still down over 80% since its 2014 IPO, why after another set of shabby numbers this morning are they up over 10% today as I write?
