Herbalife: The Problem Is Poor Brand Momentum

That is the conclusion from Seekingalpha.com, a leading technical stock analyst website.
Seekingalpha.com says:
“our research is created by investors, for investors. It is carefully vetted by in-house editors, then read and debated by millions of people. Our stock coverage is wider and deeper than any other. We provide diverse opinions on each stock so that investors can weigh the bull and bear case and make an informed decision.”
SeekingAlpha Summary for Herbalife

Herbalife is struggling to reaccelerate growth amid a weak operating environment.
Despite management efforts to support profitability, sales volumes are down globally, highlighting the underlying operating weakness.
We expect shares to remain under pressure, with the setup consistent with a textbook “value trap” in the stock.

“Herbalife Inc (NYSE:HLF) remains one of the world’s largest multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses through an extensive portfolio of wellness products and nutritional supplements. That being said, there is a sense that the company’s best days are behind it, struggling to maintain the operating momentum that defined its last decade up to the short-lived pandemic-era boom.”
In our view, Herbalife’s main headwind is poor brand momentum. The company will be challenged to bring back lost distributors that have already tried selling the platform while the novelty of the product catalog wearing

Maybe. Herbalife stock started sliding in February after its year-end earnings report and has lost nearly half of its value since then, substantially outpacing the overall drop in the markets.

In its earnings report issued on May 3, Herbalife attributed some of the sales slowdown to its newest group of distributors.
Herbalife Chief Executive John Agwunobi provided some additional insight in the teleconference call following the earnings release.
“Most of the distributors that joined Herbalife during the pandemic have never been to an in-person event, and there is no substitute for gathering in person for learning, collaborating and motivating,” he said.
Toward the end of the first quarter, Herbalife began reinstituting in-person distributor events.
“The interactive discussions, the face-to-face team building and the social elements that are
