Speaker 3: is actually cheaper than any of the others I have? Well,

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: the conclusive evidence is in and Choice, the Consumer Advocacy

Speaker 3: behold Audi. It was the cheapest by twenty five percent.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I knew it.

00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: I've been saying it forever. Uh huh, you have saving money,

Speaker 3: Three world class stories today, Uzzy boy, let's do it

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: for our first. Guzman Egomez publicly listed yesterday in the

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: asx's biggest float over three years.

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: And what a start, be Man.

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: The share price hit harder than hungover Brecky Burrito with

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: extra helimeters.

25
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: So tell me, what all right, juz boy?

26
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: You and HD spoke about the GYG story a few

27
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago.

28
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy story, this one.

29
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: Since launching in two thousand and six, GYG has expanded

30
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: to over two hundred.

31
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: And ten restaurant We're talking in Australia, in Singapore, in Japan,

32
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: in the US.

33
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Their tacos can travel and be man gooz Minigo.

34
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Man's first plan to raise about two hundred and thirty

35
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: five million dollars as part of this flow.

36
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: But with investor interest spicier than their hottest salsa, GYG

37
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: turned up the heat.

38
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: They ended up raising three hundred and thirty five million

39
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: dollars for GYG.

40
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: As well as its investors, and yesterday it shares open

41
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: at thirty bucks on the ASX.

42
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: That's eight dollars above its listing price, more than thirty

43
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: five percent higher.

44
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: Holy Guacamolely, so why did this listing pop off so hard?

45
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: Well, be Man, It's fair to say this was a

46
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: very tight share register.

47
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: The top twenty shareholders of GYG owned more than eighty

48
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: five percent of this share.

49
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: Meaning there's not a lot of liquidity to get a

50
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: fair market price.

51
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

52
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: Liquidity in the share market is how easily and how

53
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: quickly shares of a company can be bought or sold

54
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: without significantly affecting the share price. When there's a lot

55
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: of liquidity, it means lots of shares are being traded,

56
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: which usually results in more stable prices. But when most

57
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: of the shares are held by a few investors, the

58
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: amount of.

59
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Shares available to the public are much fewer, like in

60
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the case of G to the Y to the g get.

61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: This according to COMSEC, at the time of listing yesterday,

62
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: there were five hundred and twenty four buyers that wanted

63
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: to buy the stock compared to forty nine sellers, and

64
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: with fewer shares on the market, each buy or sell

65
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: order can have a bigger impact on the stock price,

66
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: so be man. Some investors believe the true test for

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: GYG share price will be when it's major investors are

68
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: allowed to sell their shares. For our second story, Netflix

69
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: is ramping up its physical world presence with two new

70
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: Netflix houses that let shoppers feel like they're inside the

71
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: world of their favorite show.

72
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: Wow, Netflix and Chill turning into Netflix and Shop tell

73
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: me more.

74
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so we know.

75
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: Netflix actually began in nineteen ninety seven as a DVD

76
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: by male movie rental service.

77
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: Aha, But since then it's pretty much evolved into a

78
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: digital on demand serve. And with this digital on demand service,

79
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: it's grown to nearly two hundred and seventy million subscribers worldwide.

80
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: But does woit? Now?

81
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: Netflix is switching back to the physical world by launching

82
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: what it is calling Netflix Houses.

83
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: And what is this Netflix house you speak of?

84
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: Well, the idea is that fans of Netflix shows can

85
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: get immersive experiences of their shows.

86
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Literally get a taste of their favorite shows through the

87
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,559
Speaker 2: food and drinks that are sold in the experiences.

88
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: So it could be scones and high tee for Bridgitton

89
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: themed experiences.

90
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: Exactly, or baby Reindeer experiences hopefully not. And although this

91
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: isn't Netflix's first physical experience, it.

92
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: Is the biggest so far and really shows how much

93
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: Netflix still values the physical world to promote it shows.

94
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: So what is the key lenning here?

95
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: Netflix is borrowing straight out of Disney's playbook.

96
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: Like Disney, Netflix has grown a massive fan base for

97
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: its original content.

98
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: We're talking characters from shows like Bridget and The Squid Game,

99
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: Stranger Things, But.

100
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Unlike Disney, Netflix hasn't managed to turn that into a

101
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: whole separate business division.

102
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: Might I remind you of Disney's cash cow, Disneyland?

103
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: I do remember that, which, by the bye, generated over

104
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: thirty two billion US dollars in revenue for Disney just

105
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: in the last financial year.

106
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: Or what about this one that's come across my desk, Mattel,

107
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: who has gone in the opposite direction.

108
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Yep, they've turned a popular physical product like Barbie into

109
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: a movie screen superstar.

110
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: We're talking more than one point four billion US dollars

111
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: in box office revenues.

112
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: So now, b man, Netflix is trying to turn its

113
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: Netflix houses into its first version of Disneyland.

114
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: For our third and final story, City Chic has warned

115
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: that it's expecting to see sales fall by thirty percent

116
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: this year and is desperado for some emergency cash from investors.

117
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: Can't imagine investors being too excited for this one. So

118
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: what is the story here?

119
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Well, City Chik is the fashion retailer started up in

120
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: Sydney in nineteen ninety two and listed on the ASX

121
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: only six years later.

122
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: And b Man, this may surprise you, but City Chik

123
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: was actually one of Australia's biggest fashion retailers at a

124
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: point you're kidding who did they own? Which big names?

125
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: They owned Miller's Fashion Club, The Katie's and Crossroads.

126
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: Since then, it's sold off those businesses and made multiple

127
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: acquisitions in the plus size fashion space, which is what

128
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: it's known for now now jaesy boy. City Sheek copped

129
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: a serious beating through the pandemic and came out of

130
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: it having lost get this, ninety five percent of its value.

131
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: And now it's just getting worse because City Sheik has

132
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: warned of an expected sales drop of fifty.

133
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: Percent this year and a mega loss amounting to over

134
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: ninety one million dollars plus.

135
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 2: To make matters just that little bit worse, it's looking

136
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: for more than twenty seven mil in emergency cash from

137
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: their investors to just help it stay afloat. And the

138
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: reason for this megal loss they man.

139
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: Well, it was forced to majorly discount as stock because

140
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: it just had too much inventory, which really hurt their

141
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: bottom line. So what is the key learning here?

142
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: So much of managing costs in retail is about anticipating

143
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: what inventory to stock and how much of it to see.

144
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: Too little inventory, you might dent your reputation. If your

145
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: customers are struggling to find what they want in stock.

146
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: Too much inventory, well, that can quickly ramp up your

147
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: inventory costs like storage stock damage.

148
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: And to clear your stock you need to go on

149
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: heavy discs down.

150
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: And this has been an ongoing issue for City Sheik

151
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: be Man, which back in twenty twenty two was holding

152
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: three times more stock than it needed.

153
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: So it had to offer discounts of up to eighty

154
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: percent on some of its items to.

155
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Get rid of them.

156
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Not the only retailer that's fallen prey to the old

157
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: too much stock problem Narki as well. They were holding

158
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: on almost ten million bucks worth of infantry late last

159
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: year because of softer consumer sentiment, and.

160
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: Nike had to dish out major discounts to get rid

161
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: of this stock, which pushed its share price down almost

162
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: twenty percent.
