Now what While the COVID-19 pandemic allowed numerous discount retailers to come into their own, generating higher sales and profits, ContextLogic CEO Piotr Szulczewski and CFO Rajat Bahri told investors in a shareholder letter that the coronavirus outbreak caused "the value-conscious consumer demographic (to be) disproportionately affected by the pandemic. As the economy starts to recover, we believe macro trends will have a positive impact on our business." Yet ContextLogic was also chasing after consumers by spending more marketing dollars on Facebook, television, streaming platforms, and on social media influencers. Management insisted, "We are confident we are making the right strategic decisions to grow our business for the long term." The internet retailer reported revenue of $772 million compared to $440 million last year, ahead of analyst estimates of $743 million.
