Hour Loop: Tariffs Clearly A Problem

Summary Hour Loop, Inc. is at risk from the impacts of the US-China tariff spat, particularly, we believe, the closing of the de minimis loophole. Recent inventory frontloading ahead of tariff changes temporarily supported margins, but future demand destruction and price sensitivity remain major concerns. HOUR's reliance on Amazon exposes it to platform power, fee increases, and fulfillment competition, further threatening profitability. We believe there has also been the general issue of less disciplined actors pressing down on reseller ROICs. Valuation isn't particularly attractive with generous assumptions against even the marketplace stocks which have a better model than being a reseller. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

I Wouldn't Short Sell Hour Loop

Hour Loop claims to be running a reselling business on Amazon. I have to admit that Hour Loop’s revenue growth did impress me, so I decided to launch a study on HOUR’s business plan. 100% of the feedback given by customers in the last 12 months was positive, which is interesting. Management appears to be reporting better revenue per employee figures than that by Amazon.
