Equity Bottom-Up

Cafe De Coral Holdings / Equity Bottom-Up

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/cafe-de-coral-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2568:1" rel="noopener">Cafe De Coral Holdings (341 HK)</a> business in Hong Kong and China are recovering nicely due to the calming down of the COVID-19 as well as the strategy change to focus on the delivery and take away markets. One of the key initiatives is to redesign the menu offering so that it is more suitable for the delivery and take away customers. However, empirical evidence tells that the company is yet to reach a popular status in one of the food delivery apps in Hong Kong which is quite worrying. 
The recent dining restrictions do not seem to bother investors much at all therefore there is still an opportunity to short Cafe de Coral in the short run.
