Teavana Holdings, Inc.

TEA position short William C. Martin

Thesis

Teavana went public with a high valuation based on expected growth, but the company has shown unimpressive same store sales growth and declining productivity at new locations, indicating it is not a breakout retail concept.

Did it work?

inconclusive confidence: low

Without specific price performance data or a defined time frame since the pitch, it's difficult to assess whether the thesis has played out. The thesis points to declining same store sales and productivity, which could indicate issues, but without knowing how the stock has performed or how much time has passed, we cannot definitively conclude the outcome.
