COA.L in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does

It also sells supply-chain services and software to clothing makers. The company traces back to 1755 and is based in London.
Where it sits in the stack

Why Closelook tracks it
