Consumer Discretionary

Report by Badger Consultants

Another profitless prosperity stock - Tom Chanos sees no way to scale the business. FRPT has been unprofitable for 10 straight years, 2022 will make it 11. Margins are collapsing even with price hikes; burns cash like crazy (latest offering only buys them c.9 months); and much bigger competitors, no barriers to entry. Selling expensive pet food in a recession is a bad place to be. TP $25 (50% downside). Other short ideas initiated by Tom over the last year include Peloton, Carvana and Coinbase.
