Was my last article on AO World (AO.) really all the way back in March 2017 as per here? Back then it was kicking around a 140p share price and kindly lost two thirds of this over the subsequent three years. Back then I bemoaned the renamed Appliances Online’s inability to understand that 'in the world of retail revenues are vanity whilst profits are a matter of opinion (but better to have than not) whilst cash flow is sanity', asking to be woken up when 'the company starts talking about generating cash and proper profits'...

Previously writing on online electrical retailer AO World (AO.), I noted in January “the board's expectations for the full year remain unchanged” – with it unhelpfully not included what expectations are! However, “challenging backdrop” is included and it all looks set for another meaningful full-year loss and cash burn. The shares are though currently at 127.5p, capitalising the company at more than £600 million! My stance remains sell. The shares closed yesterday at 97p – and today a “Trading Statement”…

In an early 2015 ShareProphets article I observed that AO World (AO.), the self-styled ‘leading European online retailer of electrical products’, was an overpriced hope stock. Roll forward, via a series of critical articles on this website from a number of writers, we have a much lower share price.

Online electricals retailer AO World (AO.) has announced results for its year ended 31st March 2015 including an emboldened statement that “the group has delivered significant growth in UK sales and UK Adjusted EBITDA over the year whilst also delivering significant strategic progress; broadening its product range, with the introduction on AO.com of audio-visual equipment and expanding internationally with the successful launch of AO.de in Germany”.

Tom W has already mentioned a certain Mr Rose earlier today but it is another one of his chairmanship that particularly interests me today and that is at AO World (AO.). I looked at the self-styled ‘leading European online retailer of electrical products’ a few weeks ago and concluded that it would ultimately prove to be a car crash for investors based on an excitable valuation today in a sector with growth but ultimately wafer-thin margins and a high level of competition.
