GoTo (GOTO IJ) – Shifting the Needle?
- GoTo is laser-focused on shifting the needle towards a semblance of profitability and likely with renewed vigour with a new management team in place.
- 2Q2023 results will likely reflect a slower headline GMV but should show an improvement in take rates and contribution margin. More colour on recent initiatives would be welcomed by investors.
- GoTo has launched a standalone GoPay app which should help to boost its off-platform usage and has the potential to nurture more collaboration with Bank Jago.
