Crazy.

This just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper.

Like people have said, a £200K share purchase in the last 3 days should have stopped a reducing share price in my opinion.

Still, I'm sure the share price will righten over time - same as PIER.!!

Can't believe we are at 267p - crazy...

Goldman cut BME price target today from 430 to 310. Bit harsh as a near 30% reduction after BME reduced a profit reduction of only 2.5%

Am happy to hold/buy at these prices.
Dividend is approx 5% (exc specials)
Dividend is approx 10%+ (inc specials)
Profit before tax £500m
Market cap of £2.8bn.

My hope over next 2 yrs is for 100% gain from here, roughly...
80% from share price rise
20% from dividends.

SF, thanks, appreciated. It definitely looks appealing on a cursory glance but will need to dig deeper, and your points will definitely help give me a start.

They are actually opening another store near me where a Wilko used to be. This is the second one nearby as they have one at the airport.

The distributions over the last 5-years are impressive, but wouldn't be surprised if the specials go, if for nothing else than to justify funding expansion from cashflows. That being said, re-domiciling the company could free a bit of cash up on the divs.

Yeah, I have been in B&M a few times-- I'm not a snob ;) -- and I always make a habit of shopping at retail companies that I invest in. I would have thought that it should be resilient in things like the ambient groceries in this environment, which is what surprised me but will need to dig deeper to understand their full offering. Hope they have guided on budget costs or will need to high-estimate them.

'was going at bogof prices before this recent fall' was cheap in terms of share price or they were going heavy on promotional discounts? If the later, then that's a sign competition is biting.

people who frequent aldi etc frequent bme, different lines. held in strong regard by regular customers.
am thinking that poundland might exit uk market, closed i think 12 stores. their main market is europe, bigger margins. bme expanding in europe. hopefully this will expand margins, but they don't know the market as well. also need more stores in south of england. bigger uk chains will outcompete smaller ones in value retail.

hefty income share over the years, look at the last 5 years' income including the specials

is expanding, but with debt and total equity not increasing.

core customer is under strain and might well cut back on bigger ticket items. might get hit by any social security cutbacks. staff heavy cost (NI, manned tills) - but is this better with this customer group ?

most advfn users won't regularly go there, but most bme shoppers aren't on advfn, don't base investment decisions on personal perspectives of shopping

probably need to cut back on specials, reduce expansion, pay off some debt. all will be on hold till new ceo. city will crave stability before any base to the price. was going at bogof prices before this recent fall.

Some very negative reactions and question marks reported in The Grocer mag. Mostly to do with what B&M (suspiciously!) didn't say rather than what it did say:


B&M faces ‘moment of truth’ after mixed results
By Harry Holmes14 November 2024

B&M Bargains
Analysts were split on the half year results


---
B&M faces a “moment of truth” over the Christmas period after splitting opinion on its financial results for the first half of the year.

The company maintained its profit guidance for the full year after group revenues rose 3.7% to £2.6bn due to strong volume growth.

“This is a good performance as we annualise a record prior year of earnings growth with strong first half comparatives,” said CEO Alex Russo.

However, like-for-like sales in the UK fell 3.6% meaning most of this growth was fuelled by opening new stores. This is worrying some investors, who are concerned about the company’s climbing lease liabilities.

B&M opened 39 new stores in the six months to 28 September as it looks to hit its long-term target of 1,200 UK stores, up from 764 today.

“Discount chain B&M has had a rough year and while these latest first-half results didn’t exactly knock it out of the park there was enough encouragement for investors to latch on to,” said AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.

B&M’s share price has struggled this year, with its price down 34% relative to the all-share index. Many investors are wary of the retailer’s history of vague forecasting and these results, unusually, did not include any mention of its performance in the latest third-quarter.

“There may be a touch of disquiet at a lack of guidance on third-quarter trading and the ‘golden quarter’ could be a moment of truth for B&M,” said Mould. “It faces a tough competitive environment, with pressure not only from direct rivals like Home Bargains but also the supermarkets.”

While the early reaction in the markets was largely positive with B&M’s share price up 5%, there continue to be dissenting voices.
B&M has been a bit of a rags-to-riches story, however, the engine has cooled materially and this H1 performance fulfils all of our prior apprehensions,”; said Shore Capital analyst Clive Black.

Black raised concerns over B&M’s transparency, pointing to its reporting of like-for-like sales (LFL) in the UK but excluding the information for the whole group. This is “brewing a storm and is somewhat cowardly”, said Black.

He added: “The erosion of reporting transparency, largely around LFL sales, is a sign of weakness not strength to us in B&M’s headline performance, as if market participants will not suss it out,” he added.

Elsewhere, however, the reaction was more positive. “B&M’;s laser focus on price means its value-for-money advantage is widening and volumes are growing, especially and crucially in non-food,” said Peel Hunt. “We expect continued strong sales-led growth, towards the top end of our structural growth subset.”

Bobby Arora, the group’s trading director who bought B&M with his brother in 2004, will retire in March 2025 and be replaced by Gareth Bilton, who has been with the company for 25 years.

B&M is also planning a new imports centre in Cheshire to support its hundreds of new stores. This will manage inbound container flow and optimise the capacity of its five distribution centres.

In case this helps a bit. Two possible reasons for the continuing fall in the share price:-

1. Outlook statements this year have been vague on prospects unlike in the past. I sold for that reason on the fall in January.

2. Concern about Chinese Company TEMU muscling in on their business. BME haven’t yet mentioned this worry, but nor did BOO or ASOS before their share prices crashed.

I’ve now reluctantly sold Dunelm (a superb shop we use a lot) for that same TEMU reason.

The RNS didn't state the exercise price of the options. So it's impossible to tell how much of a bonus each of them is really getting. If they are nil-cost AND nil-exercise then they are getting a lot, as in effect they are FREE shares. If the exercise price is the current share price then they are only getting the difference between the current share price and whatever the share price is on exercise, with no risk of loss if the share price goes down.

Oh dear ! For 30 mins yesterday the plan was going so well. Having spent the last 6 months watching BME and failing to fathom it's daily, even weekly, moves I thought maybe I thought I'd found a point where the trend should be clear. I should have known better.No disaster, and at least I got Tuesday very right. But on a daily basis the track of the BME share price remains an enigma to me.But with a price target of 690 I very happy to let my new core holding run, and let my additional day trade turn into a multi day trade in the hope that we will hit 500 in short order.Happy hunting guys.

Saw the RNS this morning. It looked OK. Sp down another 10.Didn't make sense, so bought a few. Listened to the call-in. Sounded positive. Sp up a bit. Tempted to add a few, but let's see where we go first.I still don't understand the BME share price movement. From when I first started tracking BME at beginning of the year it has steadily gone up 50p then reversed and steadily gone down 50p.Maybe it's not about understanding the share, but about following the pattern.
