I think NAV is a quid even if they close the doors.

There were always too many pubs in the UK.
The survivors should do well, after the shakeup.

Too many pubs, banks, shops, churches.
Times they are a changing, every category reducing.

But our population is rising, so the market is there for the survivors.

"Revolution Bars is considering putting itself up for sale and is looking to close a quarter of its venues in a move that could threaten hundreds of jobs."

Now you could take that one of 2 ways -

Either you say great that removes some more potential competition and condenses customers into fewer venues.

or

You could say that Revolution is not a direct competitor and is unlikely to therefore lose customers to Marstons so nothing to be gained , but is evidence of how rising costs and falling demand as evidenced by last years closures, demonstrates that the industry is in decline and profits are getting harder to come by.

Net assets are about twice those of JDW.
And yet we are about 25% of the market value.

JDW has a bigger turnover but assets should count in a business such as this.
If MARS continue to improve trading and cash-flow we should prosper.

Well said, Chris. An obvious point but evidently lost on some.. "If 1,200 branches of a competitor closed I would be quietly and respectfully celebrating and hiring their staff"

Well to help with some facts here, that are linked, Min wage is going up by 9.8% per HMRC for 21 and overs so most employees will be rising less than average selling prices, as average pub meal price is up by 12% per ONS, and a pint of beer up 6%, despite overall inflation 3.8%, as of course other items have fallen, 79% of the selling price is not labour cost, and a small proportion of labour relating to under 20's, less than 4%, so young peoples min wage being 22% more so what, it;s more than 20% less the min wage for 21+, why not mention that ?

Despite min wage going up by more last year, we did not see employee costs rise so much per 2023 annual report, so they are deploying more diverse model, closing kitchen earlier, seasonal adjustments, so, despite paying more per hour many employees, we don't see average costs move same way.

The dinning experience is evolving, how many people now do the watering job for free by placing the order on line to table ? is this not another a change in model, I see this activity up 21%, but not the price, down 100%, as we do it for free and pay more for it.

The inflation story is likely to keep running in the right direction well past the summer although interest will take longer, the bigger cost component at the moment is by far inflation and that is already tracking well to drive a strong recovery in stocks like this IMO.

If 1,200 branches of a competitor closed I would be quietly and respectfully celebrating and hiring their staff, not worried I will be next, I will adapt model, raise prices, and stand out, the dinning experience will outlive everyone on this planet, it's far from dead, and in the right hands growing.

Well if you think a private surgeon and his staff (as said above) would have to deal with minimum wage you must
have a pecular view of the world you live in.

You clearly know very little about the pub / pub restaurant business if you think they are not disproportionally
effected.

So many young people get the first job waiting on tables

Now the minimum rate of pay is to rise between 12.4% and 21.2% from April the 1st

As for 1,293 pubs closing last year what rose tinted excuse are you going to come up with for that?

I hate to shock you but Tesco (other supermarkets are available) buy beer from all over the world

So using that logic Amazons main business cost is warehouse staff what do you think they earn less than the service industries or the same ....

If you buy beer from the supermarket who do you think produces it? soz I forgot how well known Tesco's was for its breweries...

all business are having to deal with min wage"

All businesses ?

Yeah when if I want a private operation - the surgeon and his staff are all on minimum wage too... not.

Try and understand the nature of a business that is in a service industry that pays a lot of staff low wages or minimum wage.
Their costs rise - out of their control.
Their customers are discretionary.
Their customers can stay at home and eat out less, can drink booze from the supermarket,and smoke with a drink
in their own homes whilst they cannot in the pub.

Consider 1,293 pubs closed last year (per camra)

The competition is fierce and you don't think that all the large investors have not considered the debt ?
Why do you think the shares are close to an all time low then ?

Dipped my toe in last week and a bit more this week. Average at 28.75p. £100,000 purchase by Justin Platt. That's a hell of a statement from the CEO following on from Allan Bentley's purchase last month. I believe this represents excellent value.

Good time for a beer, and buy a few shares in Marston's while I'm at it, with so much competition going by the way side, energy falling, tax drop, interest rates having peaked, and a slow stable retreat, with also food prices falling, people now acclimated to paying more to go out with slightly less choice, and less on the plate thee days (got to think of health) the picture is compelling enough, mark this point, game on...
