S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
Investing.com -- Shares of Naked Wines (LON:NWINE) soared 15% following the company’s announcement of a new strategic plan aimed at boosting profitability and cash flow.
The online wine retailer’s shares rallied after the plan outlined key priorities, including achieving a £75 million cash balance by March 2025, liquidating £40 million of excess inventory, and aiming for £10-15 million in annual EBITDA by FY25.
The strategic plan also includes a focus on returning to sustainable revenue growth, with targets set for a 5%-10% growth rate exit, although this is expected after a mid-term stabilization at revenues of £200-225 million, which is approximately 20% below the FY25 guidance of £240-270 million.
Additionally, Naked Wines detailed a capital allocation policy that includes a limited distribution strategy in the near term, with potential for material one-off returns over the mid-term and a consideration for share repurchases based on the intrinsic value impact on remaining shares.
Jefferies commented on the announcement, stating, "While there is plenty of detail to be worked through here, it is encouraging to see Naked committing to significant cash returns, a substantial sustainable EBITDA and a longer term growth agenda."
