Sosandar is good value at these prices.
April update:
"Highlights for the financial year ended 31 March 2023:
Revenue of £42.5m, up 44% year-on-year (FY22: £29.5m)
First full year of profitability, delivering PBT of at least £1.6m, a substantial positive swing of £2.2m vs £0.6m loss in FY22
Gross margin maintained at 56.1% (FY22: 56.0%) despite growth in revenue through lower margin wholesale channel."

FY is Jul 10th so 3months additional data through an important part of the season.

The share price is back to the level before the April update. Doesn't make any sense unless there is a massive reduction in consumer durables because of an imminent recession.
So, is that what is being priced in?

However, recent trades nearly all seem to be buys, but do not move the price.
Perhaps:
Lombard Odier Investment Managers group.
Reduced from about 9.5% to 5% on the 17th April.
About 12million shares.
Schroder increased by less than a million shares on the 13th April.
No other large rns'.
So, maybe just a lot of shares available?

What do folks think?

Given the SOS plans to sell worldwide we should be looking at a bright future.

Once SOS announces they have an agreement to sell through a store chain in the US the SOS share price to go up considerably. It happened with other retailers such as ASOS whose share price skyrocketed. Provided SOS are able to fulfil their plans, that increase should continue as SOS expands in the US and into other countries. The SOS target middle class demographic is one of the least likely to suffer much in a downturn in any country.

You are probably right about the difference in size. Given the SOS target demographic, it is difficult to imagine SOS selling in the same quantity as ASOS. However, I can still imagine that going global might have a significant effect on the SOS share price
Posted at 18/4/2023 09:43 by daijavu
Comparing the potential of Sosandar, if it goes global, with what ASOS achieved when it went global is mind blowing. Twice, after ASOS went global, its share price reached £75. ASOS has now dropped to around £7.50.

I'd be very happy if SOS only reached £7.50.

From Singer note:

Sosandar (SOS LN)Corporate

Positive exit rate into FY24 and accelerating growth
The full year update signals positive sales/margin trends continued in Q4. With a step-change in resource/capability to expand overseas accommodated within forecasts, the medium to long term potential has increased. Having raised £5.5m in Feb at 22p, SOS is now very well-placed to deliver a step-change in scale and profitability by accelerating multi-channel distribution and other growth plans, including customer acquisition where LTVs are compelling. We see a big opportunity in Mar’25 in particular vs. the prudent forecasts (2-yr EPS CAGR >50%) we have introduced today and have edged our target price up accordingly, now to 48p. Buy.

Fast growing brand with significant growth opportunities
Sosandar is one of the fastest growing listed retailers in the UK. It is a differentiated women’s fashion brand focused on 35-65 year olds, and has a clear growth strategy in a large and under-served market where its share is still only 0.2%. Execution has been impeccable in the last 2 years, despite exceptional external challenges. It successfully moved to profit over a year ago and, after a good Q4 to Mar’23, EBITDA margin has continued to expand. These benefits from economies of scale are ongoing.

Accelerating growth – via 3rd party expansion and customer recruitment
The £5.5m placing proceeds raised after signing a new wholesale agreement with Sainsbury’s in Jan’23 will accelerate growth by 1) fast-tracking its strategy into multi-channel distribution with that exciting new partner, 2) fast-tracking other growth plans, including more 3P partnerships both in the UK and overseas, and 3) accelerating customer recruitment to its own site, where its proven range, marketing and retention dynamics deliver highly compelling lifetime value metrics.

Prudent forecast changes with scope for more on full deployment
Q4 trading was in line with expectations except for certain investment being accelerated in operations, technology and international. While Mar’23 PBT is c£0.25m lower than we forecast, the investment will facilitate growth and drive value creation; SOS is already in dialogue with several international 3P partners. Based on prudent assumptions in relation to deployment of the proceeds, financial benefits and placing dilution, we forecast 2-year sales/EPS CAGRs of 28%/53%. This includes a step-change in resource/capability for international expansion and leaves risk potentially to the upside, especially in Mar’25. As stated before, we believe EBITDA margins can expand to >10% in time (vs FY’25E 6.9%).

Valuation consideration
SOS trades on 14x EV/EBITDA to Mar’24, falling to 9x (14x P/E, <0.7x EV/sales) in Mar’25. The PEG is <0.4. It passed the inflection point to profitability over 18 months ago, and has a pipeline of very exciting growth plans. We therefore use a blend of metrics to derive our 12-month target price (1x PEG, 17.5x EV/EBITDA, 1.5x EV/sales). While our target price only edges up to 48p for now, it offers a 100% TSR and should advance if/when proceeds are more fully deployed into incremental 3P agreements. New 3P announcements in the coming months should therefore act as a catalyst. Buy.

Reminder of Singer's comment on the Sainsbury's agreement from last month.


Exciting new wholesale agreement with Sainsbury

SOS has agreed a wholesale partnership with Sainsbury’s. As well as launching initially online, it will then become a key fashion partner in stores too. This elevates Sosandar’s strategy from ‘pureplay&rsquo; to ‘multi-channel’, which will accelerate brand awareness, market penetration and growth. It may also broaden appeal for potential overseas partners. More good news. Buy.

Event – new 3rd party agreement
Sosandar has entered into a new wholesale agreement with Sainsbury’s. The partnership will start in the next few weeks, initially online-only and then in selected stores later this year as Sainsbury’s increases its collaborations with fashion brands to provide its customers with a broader selection of products. The initial range will include a curated selection of Sosandar's best-sellers & accessories.

Sainsbury’s.
To be one of Sainsbury’s key fashion partners is a significant milestone, and underlines the appeal of Sosandar’s differentiated collections, which continue to be expanded. As reported in SBRY’s recent update, it is gaining share in both Food and Non-Food. Its Tu Clothing brand generates c£1bn sales (c2% market share), and provides the grocer with a strong base to leverage share gains.

Multi-channel.
The wholesale supply arrangement starts in the spr/sum season, initially online-only
like its other 3P partnership arrangements. It will then extend to stores for the aut/wint season, thereby becoming Sosandar’s first multi-channel step. With c60% of the addressable market ‘offline&rsquo;, and stores having recouped more share post-covid than expected, elevating the strategy from pureplay to multi-channel via a partnership like this will bolster brand awareness, market share and, potentially broaden its appeal and relevance with potential partners internationally.

Potential.
A large proportion of SBRY’s clothing sales are offline, with Tu currently sold in c400 of its larger superstores. As well as being stocked online, Sosandar is to become a key fashion partner in ‘selected stores’ within that part of the estate. Like all 3P partnerships, we believe Sosandar will develop the relationship gradually and, if successful, subsequently scale volumes up across both channels. This clearly represents a significant growth opportunity, particularly if Sosandar were to be rolled out over time to a significant number of those 400 stores with clothing departments.

Financials.
Investment will relate to w/c, namely deeper buys of existing styles (stock), albeit beneficial to ongoing scale/supplier negotiations, and debtors. While wholesale arrangements typically have a lower gross margin (we would expect 30-35%), SOS is utilising its existing resource, so associated costs should be limited to the variable picking/distribution costs (we would expect 5-10% tops).

Impact on earnings & valuation
Given its potential scale and bottom line contribution, this agreement could clearly add materially to future earnings. However, we we make no changes to forecasts yet, pending updates on the online performance in spr/sum (fiscal Q4 to Mar’23 and fiscal Q1 to Jun’23) and further details in relation to the number of stores the brand will be rolled out to for the aut/wint season. The positive implications for future earnings and brand expansion, should support rating expansion. We re-iterate our existing 45p target price and will look to review this at the prelims in May/June. Buy.

Indeed raleigh43.

Good to see Sosandar share price rising.
Just 20 trades, only 100,000 shares traded and the share price up 2.9% tells me there isn't any loose stock floating about.
oh yes :P

I'm not saying that SOS has been overly affected by the postal strikes but I could understand why that might be the perception in some quarters. SOS's share price has underperformed its peers over the last week or so; the likes of ASOS, BOO, NXT and SDRY have been rising whilst SOS has been falling.

I didn't hear anything in the H1 presentation to make me overly worried that SOS might not meet its FY23 targets; indeed SOS may exceed its targets (they indicated that sales were up 40% YoY in Oct/Nov and implied that they should coast to their FY23 targets, even if there is a downturn post New Year). I think they would have raised their FY23 targets if they weren't (rightly) being cautious about Q4 and the prospects of recession. Thus far their customers appear to have been fairly resilient to cost of living pressures but I think SOS are being sensible not to get too carried away. In this environment it's definitely better to under promise and over deliver.
