In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Horos Asset Management highlighted a few stocks and Qiwi Plc (NASDAQ:QIWI) is one of them. Qiwi Plc (NASDAQ:QIWI) is a Russian payment service provider. Year-to-date, Qiwi Plc (NASDAQ:QIWI) stock lost 46.9% and on December 30th it had a closing price of $10.29. Here is what Horos Asset Management said:
“We trimmed our exposure to Qiwi after outperforming the other holdings that make up Horos Value Internacional. The Russian digital financial services company benefited during the period from the announcement of the sale of its consumer financing project, Sovest. As we have pointed out in the past, it was clear that the new initiatives launched by the company in recent years were having a negative impact on the investor community’s perception of Qiwi, as the real cash flow generation capacity of the payments business was being concealed and these projects were not delivering immediate results. In the end, Qiwi has been reorganizing, selling or liquidating these lines of business, uncovering its strong cash generation capacity and regaining some of the investors’ lost confidence.”
In Q3 2020, the number of bullish hedge fund positions on Qiwi Plc (NASDAQ:QIWI) stock increased by about 29% from the previous quarter (see the chart here), so a number of other hedge fund managers believe in Qiwi’s growth potential.
