As everyone is really excited due the ER whether is in short/long position. In advance, Rome wasn't built in a day.
We saw at the Amazon that workforce expense and shipping cost hit/strode them hardly and I expect the same in case of Jumia.
What is really a struggle for me is how to evaluate the currency exchange.
Their major market is: Egypt, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Kenya and South Africa. So how they handle different currencies when they change. I know my question little bit silly but I would be happy if someone would give me a nice lesson (and for everyone).
It’s important because their operating area is special, thus it’s in my opinion wort to keep in mind how the different currencies effect the company consolidated balance on daily weakly basis and so on.
Total outstanding shares (Million) 2017 2018 2019 2020 Current
78,53 78,53 78,41 89.63 98,59 ( 20% more shares )
This table above will be an important point.
I saw in Yahoo finance comments that a lot of “traders” is calling 50$ again and so on. Its not impossible but highly unlikely due the company increased the outstanding shares by 14% by the end of 2020. In near term (1Y) I don’t expect the share will reach 50$ without significant catalyst. The expected development of the company fundaments also does not point for such a high valuation.
The current outstanding share increase from 2017 is 20%. Not so good for those who expecting 50$, although its not impossible with surprisingly strong ER.
But highly unlikely – We expect downward pressure due shipping and labor cost.
Price target 20$ before any huge buying happening.
