VALUATION

China Youzan has a current market capitalization of 50.500 mln CNY or 42.496 mln HKD. It has a very high valuation, and has a very high especulation of growht in the stock price. As it is still not profitable, so we take the price to sale ratio for valuate it.
The Price to sale ratio of China Youzan is very high in comparasion to the biggest e-commmerce chineses stocks like JD and BABA.
CONCLUSION

China Youzan is a great business, with a great future, but the stock price needs a strong growth at very high rates for improve the margins and justify the current price.

At this price the margin of safety is very far. Stock to follow and look the growth rates.
The China Youzan Full Year 2020 was realesed in 28th March.

Since that, the stock grew up 10%.

Why?
Revenue and Cash from operating activities showed nice growth interannual and in relation to the 3th quarter 2020.
At current Market Capitalization of 39.087 mln RMB, China Youzan is quoting at 21 Price to sales ratio.

Still very above peers like http://JD.com  or Alibaba, but if sustain this high rates of growing... it´s ratio could go down very fast.
Since the beginning of this thread and the update, China Youzan $8083 is down 21% and 14% respectively. We continue to believe that the business model is very attractive but the market valuation is excessive. On May 10th we will review the first quarter report.
