It’s worth recalling that the price of shares of Sosandar Plc (SOS.L)
has fallen 23.75 percent over the last month. Zooming out to the last 6
months, shares have seen a negative change of 42.43 percent, having lost
52.64 percent over the past year.
The online retailer for womenswear in the United Kingdom had a market
cap of 19 million pounds when it posted in late March a loss of 3.5 million
pounds for its most recent fiscal year. According to market insiders. the
most pressing concern for investors is the company’s path to profitability
and whether the retailer will reach the break-even mark any time soon.
Well, according to the industry analysts covering SOS, breakeven is
near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before
generating positive profits of 1.5 million pounds in 2021. Sosandar is
therefore projected to breakeven over the next two years.
Market analysts’ estimates point at a projected company’s growth rate of
90 percent year-on-year, on average.
