Kogan’s recovery continues as it claims best ever trading days over Christmas

The slow recovery in retail tech stock Kogan.com continued on Thursday, with the company telling investors the Christmas trading period had delivered record numbers.

Kogan.com (ASX:KGN) shares sat at 16-month lows in November, as it tried its hand at superannuation and credit cards in an effort to turn around the slump.

The stock is due to open up nearly 2pc this morning at $3.30, after revealing Black Friday and Boxing Day sales produced “record days in the history of the company”.

That’s a long, long way short of year-long highs of $10, but a positive sign nonetheless.

The company also gave shareholders a peek at unaudited half-year results, saying total revenue growth was 10pc and active customer growth was 32pc.

Founder Ruslan Kogan said he was proud of his “innovative, agile and resilient” business.

“Our team is proud to have delivered the best Christmas trading period the business has ever had,” he said.

“Our customer-centric approach saw us deliver more items than ever, faster than ever. The investments we have made in a nationwide logistics footprint enabled us to delight customers all over Australia with rapid delivery, along with the great value they have come to expect from Kogan.com.”
