Nothing too extraordinary for now - What is the pitch?

1️⃣ $CDON was previously valued as a brick & mortar retailer as its activity-mix consisted mainly in conventional retail operations

2️⃣ Marketplace sales now account for 67% of total in Q3 ’20, up from 40% a year earlier
3️⃣ Despite the change in activities, the company still trades at a PS of 1.5

For comparison:

✅ $OZON trades at a PS of 8

✅ $SE trades at a PS of 30

✅ $MELI trades at a PS of 28
4️⃣ Growth is overshadowed by the decline in its conventional retail activities

5️⃣ When looking only at the “marketplace” sales, these are up 94% YoY to SEK 1.5B ($ 180m)
