Welcome to the Equity Mates Summer Series. As we take a break over the Christmas period, we will be releasing a series of deep-dive episodes to keep you going until we’re back in the New Year. A couple of weeks ago, we randomly generated 5 ASX ticker codes and will discuss one company per episode. In this episode we discuss Baby Bunting (ASX Code: BBN), Australia’s largest specialist baby-goods retailer. [We know the audio quality isn’t great in patches. We’re making sure it’ll be better for the remainder of our summer series. Thanks for bearing with us.] In this episode, you will learn: • Details about Baby Bunting as a company • About Baby Bunting’s major competitors and the major changes that happened in the speciality baby retail industry last year • How Baby Bunting is preparing to compete with online retailers like Amazon • How the US Speciality Baby Retailers dealt with Amazon’s intrusion into their market • The two key risks Bryce sees about investing in this industry • The company’s key financials and how they compare to previous years • Why the company saw revenue (sales) rise by 9% but net profit fall by 25% • What happened to cause the company’s share price to jump 38% the day it released its latest Annual Report • Baby Bunting’s future plans • Perhaps most importantly, where the boys found this information Stocks and Resources Discussed: • Baby Bunting Website (ASX: BBN) • Baby Bunting ASX Website • Baby Bunting Yahoo Finance • Baby Bunting Investor Relations Page • Baby Bunting FY18 Annual Report • Baby Bunting Recent Investor Presentation • Motley Fool’s page on Baby Bunting
