artnet has a strong reputation supplying online data and services to the global fine art market. The group has been investing heavily in the functionality and user experience of its website, at short-term cost to profits. However, the spend should give it the tools to exploit the opportunities afforded by the growing online fine art market, as well as increasing advertising revenues. Success in building its online auctions business is key to top-line growth. The share price is at a discount to other quoted art and online businesses, which should narrow with better trading.
