Elevator Pitch

  • Seeking Alpha authors' sentiment has been bullish on FND despite the stock being a continuous underperformer in 2022. My research shows contrary evidence to bullish views betting on traffic growth.
  • FND site visits have seen a sharp fall in Q4 FY22.
  • Underlying demand drivers such as existing home sales have accelerated their decline in Q4 FY22.
  • The degree of bullish beats vs consensus on revenue growth has been declining and I think there is risk of a miss for Q4 FY22.
  • Technical analysis also suggests bearishness after the stock has printed a bull trap.
