In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, Silver Ring Value Partners' highlighted a few stocks and Qurate Retail Inc. (NASDAQ:QRTEA) is one of them. Qurate Retail Inc. (NASDAQ:QRTEA) provides e-commerce services. In the last three months, Qurate Retail Inc. (NASDAQ:QRTEA) stock gained 62.3% and on January 19th it had a closing price of $11.72. Here is what Silver Ring Value Partners' said:
"Business Vision in 5 Years: The company continues to benefit from the trend towards shopping from home. This allows the business to gain new cohorts of loyal repeat buyers. As traditional retailers struggle to fully recover from the dual pressures of growth in e-commerce and the COVID pandemic, Qurate benefits by offering a combination of shopping and entertainment to a growing universe of consumers. This leads to the company growing sales and profits not just in 2020/2021 but over the long-term.
What Can Prevent It From Getting There:
• The boost in demand from the COVID lockdowns proves transient, and the company resumes its prior sales declines
• Other companies, such as Amazon, are finally able to replicate some of what Qurate offers to its loyal shoppers, causing an accelerating erosion among that cohort
• Merchandizing mistakes that cause the company to lose relevance with its consumers."
