BREAKING: Does the brother of Boohoo boss Mahmud Kamani own the Leicester slave factories

2020-07-13 16:28:46

Boohoo (BOO) stated on 8 July that it was “shocked and appalled by the recent allegations that have been made” about suppliers in Leicester using what amounts to slave labour. Really? On the Iain Dale show on LBC yesterday, Tory MP Andrew Bridgen – who has led this expose – stated that a main centre of this trade was the Dunlop Building. He means the Dunlop Business Centre.

Boohoo blathers Bullshit

2020-07-08 10:11:23

On Monday Boohoo (BOO) responded to weekend press reports that suppliers in Leicester were paying as little as £3 an hour to staff forced to work even if they had Covid and generally treated like shit with a denial. That did not wash and the shares tumbled. And so today, as I urged it to do at the weekend, it has announced an independent enquiry but I am afraid the statement is nonsensical bullshit and the shares continue to slide.

BooHoo I take it all back - I can't see any reason to hold

2020-05-31 13:56:31

In yesterday's bearcast I discussed why Boohoo (BOO) did not move from the AIM casino to the main market. Some interpret this as me saying the shares are a buy. Au contraire on a PE of 60 the risk reward trade off looks dreadful.  Yesterday i recorded a video with Boohoo's greatest critic Matt Earl and that should go live within 24 hours and that will, I suspect, raise many more questions that bulls cannot answer. Now the Sunday Telegraph brings news of US legal action and I publish the Ciurt filings in full below. Ouch!

Lots of bits and pieces in today's regulatory updates...but I cannot really rouse myself to talk about why William Hill (WMH) finally got religion to evolve its CEO or why I am not too surprised Dixons Carphone (DC.) is a better business than the market gives credit for, nor even why yesterday's numbers and comments from Barratt Developments (BDEV) or today's from Redrow (RDW) are not enough for me to change my (negative) views on the housebuilders. By contrast I am pleased to read a positive update from boohoo (BOO)…

Probably No Need to Share Tears for this Well Dressed ASOS Rival

2019-06-13 08:13:56

Hello, Share Slappers. Oh, the woes of writing about shares every day! I was 80% into writing a difficult piece extolling a motorcar-related company when doubts crept in. The company seems to be doing fine, but I became aware of some general headwinds out there. Also, I realised it would be hypocritical of me to indirectly boost the motor industry when I blame cars for air pollution and so refuse to invest in the sector myself...

Boohoo and the co-founder's dilemma

2019-03-10 04:51:55

By far the most interesting story on the business pages of today's deadwood press is the veiled attack on the co-founder (Mahmud Kamani) of Boohoo (BOO) and the allegation he has failed to move with the times on matters of corporate governance in appointing 'an associate' (i.e. a friend) as the company's new CEO, whilst going upstairs as a very hands-on executive chairman. 

boohoo – argues “strong growth”… so why a strong share price response…down?

A “Trading Update” for the four months ended 31st December from boohoo (BOO) emphasises “Strong revenue growth of 44% (43% in constant exchange rates) across all geographic regions” (to £328.2 million), “Gross margin for the four months 54.2%, up 170bps” and “Strong balance sheet with net cash of £189 million (31 December 2017: £127 million)”. The shares have currently responded, er... more than 7% lower towards 180p…

No Need to Cry Over Boohoo, the Summer Four-Bagger On-line Fashion Firm.

2018-01-27 04:11:52

Hello Share Packers. It’s probable everyone knows the ASOS (ASC) story by now. The shares were once 7p and rose to about £70. The success was due to the fact that it was in the online clothing game at its beginning. Since then other companies have tried to sell fashion on screens and have not done as well.

#BoycottBoohoo - just how big will the backlash be? Facebook censorship is not helping it

2017-02-02 05:36:54

I have made it clear that the issues raised by Channel 4 with regards to the way Boohoo.com (BOO) treats warehouse staff and exploits vulnerable immigrant workers are serious. I am so shocked that I am boycotting the retailer. Ho Ho Ho - do you honestly think I have ever used it?  But other real customers are enraged not just by what appears to be the unacceptable face of capitalism. Boohoo is censoring its facebook page removing any hostile comments. That in itself is seen as being shifty. Truly, Boohoo is crap at PR.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: #BoycottBoohoo, the shameful and unacceptable face of capitalism exposed

2017-01-31 01:14:09

I am no fan of Channel 4, Most of its reporting is shocking. But the Dispatches programme today was superb journalism. It exposed Boohoo.com (BOO) and to a far lesser extent ASOS (ASC) for the way they treat management. Boohoo was truly shamed. Its management were shown to be shifty and deceitful in their responses to a film footage which showed quite sickening exploitation of workers and indeed law breaking. If I was a customer I'd shut my account down at once. There are legal and financial implications (bad ones) but the biggest will be reputational damage. How will the snowflake generation who are Boohoo customers react? Looker at #BoycottBoohoo on twitter and have a guess. All this is discussed in a bonus podcast.

New Short for autumn – Boohoo at 33p, valuation a rum n’coke: first warning shot fired

2015-09-20 02:50:53

Sadly for us bears most of the slam dunk mid-cap AIM shorts have already gone our way. We have had great sport with Monitise, Tungsten, Quindell, Range Resources, LGO Energy, Cupid, Globo (still more to come there), Gulf Keystone, etc. We won. The Bulletin Board Morons lost. Only Avanti Communications is still left to topple. It will.  But now I think we have a new quarry to stalk: Boohoo.com (BOO) looks a slam dunk short at 33p.

Growth “less than anticipated” (despite still being 25%) = 40% share price decline. This is the current unwelcome situation for shareholders in online fashion retailer boohoo (BOO). As has been heavily emphasised on this site (see, for example, HERE), this is the risk of high valuations if expectations are not met. What though now with the shares at a current 23p?
