25% crash again in the next 48. Back on form once update has sunk in fully.

Still looks like a car crash to me stumbling from one disaster to another they are now shutting the Netherlands business down as it's not profitable The entire business is unprofitable maybe they should shut it all down ?

Patience in the market running out with AO?Not sure what Brexit will mean, not the recent news about the need for manufacturers to make products to last - neither great for a company reliant on high turnover of equipment.

Geez this looks weak like DC keeps making new lows but at least they have decent profits can see this continuing lower no support.imo

Losses particularly in Europe increasing. Cash shrinking! Revenues increasing but still no profit. How is CEO going to increase margins on products? No USP for this business.

!YOUTUBEVIDEO:0BdxCHoCN9I: Will AO World have the (white) goods to impress investors on Tuesday? April’s trading statement wasn’t great. The re-appointment of John Roberts as CEO at the start of 2019 brought about a rather costly management re-shuffle; combine that with a loss making contract in Germany the company has been unable to terminate, and it is set to incur exceptional charges of around £2.5 million. This comes on top of the costs related to the £32.5 million acquisition of Mobile Phones Direct at the end of 2018. Group adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile, is expected to be at the lower end of market expectations, which is worrying given that estimates have it anywhere between a £400,000 loss and a £2 million profit. The response to AO World’s full year results, then, may well be predicated on whether or not it does indeed slump to an adjusted loss, as well as the size of said loss.

Ooops, sorry

[tim 3] 04/4/2019 21:42

Indeed I mean wtf does this actually mean? "Mr Roberts said that since his return he had “created a mindset shift” and the business was now “realising our opportunities with pace and energy”.

[tim 3] 28/3/2019 11:47

Think you did right support appears to of gone could easily fall further.imo

[rathean] 28/3/2019 08:45

Steve Caunce "decided to step down" as CEO on 31 January 2019. https://www.investegate.co.uk/ao-world-plc--ao--/rns/directorate-change/201901310700126060O/ The last AO World (LON:AO.) annual report told us that he held 51,975,815 shares on 31 March 2018 (page 88). Https://www.ao-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/AOW_AR2018_Web-FINAL-1.pdf However, we today learn that he sold 4,830,000 shares on 23 March 2018, and actually held just 47,145.815 shares at year-end, i.e. the information given in the annual report was false. https://www.investegate.co.uk/ao-world-plc--ao--/rns/holding-s--in-company/201903201357544788T/ Also today, we find out that he sold a further 600,000 shares on 17 December 2018. https://www.investegate.co.uk/ao-world-plc--ao--/rns/holding-s--in-company/201903201359374791T/ Nothing short of disgraceful, in my view.
