Shows the benefit of not getting into home delivery, crazy idea for low margin high volume products like grocery it will be the final nail in M&S's coffin. I go into our local B&M about twice a month. A sort of down market Lidl without the continental specialities I go to Lidl for. Only things I buy are booze which is about £1 a bottle cheaper than elsewhere and branded grocery staples which are generally cheaper than elsewhere. One bonus was that I could by paint when all the DIY places were shut.

Store is never busy so never had any trouble getting in when other retailers made me queue in the rain. 99% of the stuff in the store was things I wouldn't buy but that's the same with most retail outlets.

Baked in then? Stupid.

Profit doubled. Impressive.

I only bought BME for the FTSE100 promotion
but the more I look the more I like it
so bought some more.
IMHO it’s a pretty smart outfit

[dicksmoney] 10/11/2020 14:07

I take it that the market has changed
it’s opinion of the role out of so many stores now that a “vaccine”; will level
the playing field

[shaker44] 10/11/2020 13:52

Yes I saw that at the end of sept but see nothing on recent unusual moves

[scooper72] 10/11/2020 12:59

Perhaps the vaccine has taken some of the momentum out of them as they were seen to be benefitting from the lock downs etc

[shaker44] 10/11/2020 12:20

Very quiet board unlike recent share action. Can't see any news but it's been zipping way up and yesterday back down. Any insights??

They say that because of the virus they do not answer phones so they are using the virus to get people into stores.

[scooper72] 11/8/2020 14:01

I went in for some floor tiles and when they didn't have them in stock I went across the car park to B&Q. But to be fair my wife had never been in there before and seemed quite interested in all the items they stock and also the quality, although we didn't end up buying anything. Sold my shares just leaving the £500 profit invested so will probably look for any weakness in the autumn months.

[glasgow13] 11/8/2020 12:45

Think it is time B@M stopped hiding behind coved and started to answer there phone. People have to visit store daily looking for items that are not in stock making the chance of coming in contact with the virus much more likely.

Will be going in FTSE 100 first week of September. Tracker funds bying in etc. Expect it to keep rising until then although nothing is guaranteed..

lovely chart and NOR situation. I have not followed it since march and shocked at how well it has done . high P/e but has no effect on share price ! Even KGF is uptrending !

[jimbo123elf] 28/7/2020 08:56

GOLDMAN RAISES B&M PRICE TARGET TO 430 (376) PENCE - 'BUY'

[muzmanoz] 15/4/2020 14:28

I imagine it is doing well in the UK but the french operation, Babou, is shut.

[philanderer] 15/4/2020 13:53

Questor: in the coming recession discounters should do well. Time to buy B&M

[ropey] 03/4/2020 14:36

why the sudden spike today/now ?

[gswredland] 25/3/2020 17:59

Anyone know if BME has huge debts please?

[muzmanoz] 25/3/2020 07:54

article in today's times that is somewhat critical of B&M's stores remaining open when only a third of its revenue is from groceries.

It does report a staff member saying that sales are at christmas like numbers. Usually a quiet time of year up to Easter.
