Digital Wine Ventures Limited

Decent Growth in Revenue: Digital Wine Ventures Limited (ASX: DW8) identifies and invests in early-stage technology-driven ventures. The market capitalisation of the company stood at ~$66.21 million as on 22nd December 2020. Recently, the company provided an update on its WINEDEPOT business, wherein, it stated that its principal operating business has zero exposure to Australian wine exports to China. This follows the decision of Government of China to impose tariffs of between 107% and 212% on Australian wine. During the September 2020 quarter (Q1 FY21), the company processed a total of 12,230 orders, reflecting a rise of 58% over 7,754 orders in Q4 FY20. DW8 shipped 22,470 cases, reflecting a rise of 63% over the June 2020 quarter. During the quarter, WINEDEPOT business recorded total revenue of $400,277, indicating a rise of 48% over Q4 FY20.

Revenue (Source: Company Reports)

Outlook: Looking forward, WINEDEPOT would be expanding its addressable market by providing wineries with the ability to not only list their products for sale on the Direct-to-Trade Marketplace.

Stock Recommendation: During Q1 FY21, DW8 successfully raised $6 million through a placement of $5 million and a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) of $1 million. Over the span of the last two years (2019 and 2020), the company has maintained nil debt to equity.  In the last one and three months, the stock of DW8 has corrected 8.51% and 20.37%, respectively. The 52-week low-high range for the stock stands at $0.004 - $0.066, respectively. On a technical analysis front, the stock has a support level of ~$0.039 and resistance level of ~$0.048. Thus, considering the decent growth in revenue and rising number of orders, and key risk associated with the business, we give a “Speculative Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current market price of $0.043 per share on 22nd December 2020.

Angel Seafood Holdings Ltd

Successful Capital Raising via Placement: Angel Seafood Holdings Ltd (ASX: AS1) is engaged in the production of fresh, clean, and consistently high-quality oysters.

Recently, the company has initiated a trial of ‘summer oysters’ which are farmed using spawnless triploid spat. In the event of a successful trial, the ‘summer oysters’ will be available for sale. These additional sales are likely to increase the company’s sales by 10-15% per annum. Also, the company has finished capital raising of $4 million through a placement of 23.5 million new fully paid ordinary shares. The company would use these funds mainly to acquire additional premium water leases to increase scale, invest in the adoption of innovative farming to increase productivity.

In spite of challenging trading conditions and steady underlying oyster prices over the year, the company recorded revenue amounting to $5.0 million, up by 16% over FY19.
