In the said letter, Miller Value Partners highlighted a few stocks and The RealReal Inc. (NASDAQ:REAL) is one of them. The RealReal Inc. (NASDAQ:REAL) is an online and brick-and-mortar marketplace for authenticated luxury consignment. Year-to-date, The RealReal Inc. (NASDAQ:REAL) stock lost 30% and on November 2nd it had a closing price of $13.19. Here is what Miller Value Partners said:
“TheRealReal is an online second-hand luxury goods marketplace. It’s unique “reverse logistics” (sourcing goods from many diverse individuals) and authentication process offers a competitive advantage, especially as it continues to scale and achieve network effects of a two-sided marketplace. It hit $30 per share in 2019 after its IPO but traded down and now sits in the mid-teens. Unlike many e-commerce players, the COVID environment pressured the company because of challenges sourcing and authenticating goods. The company built a virtual authentication capability, which should help going forward. We believe the company will benefit from a continued normalization in the market and see significant upside in the stock.”
