In the Q1 2021 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and Farfetch Ltd (NYSE:FTCH) is one of them. Farfetch Ltd (NYSE:FTCH) is a online luxury fashion retail platform that sells products from over 700 boutiques and brands from around the world. In the last three months, Farfetch Ltd (NYSE:FTCH) stock lost 39%. Here is what the fund said:
“Farfetch Ltd. (FTCH) declined 15% during the period following a strong performance in 4Q20. The company reported 4Q results that showed strong platform gross market value (GMV) growth of 49% Year-over-Year (YoY) while also hitting EBITDA profitability for the first time. Management guided for 1Q21 GMV growth of 50-55% versus 49% expected with adjusted EBITDA of -$20M at the midpoint versus consensus of -$5M. For the full year, the company expects GMV growth of 30-35% slightly below consensus of 38% with EBITDA margin coming in at 1-2%. The company does not expect any meaningful contribution from their Tmall launch in 2021 and announced plans to launch beauty in Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22). The big announcement was the official launch of E-concessions as a Service, which has been a long-term goal of the company. While the stock saw some declines earlier in the quarter, it was further pressured by block trades that were associated with the liquidation of Archegos Capital Management.”
