Investors Chronicle tips of the year. Booker - the supermarket price war seems to be having little effect on convenience store wholesaler Booker, which is continuing to benefit from cost savings and growth opportunities created by its acquisition of struggling rival Makro.

"For some time, Booker has been the portfolio’s outstanding performer."



Booker has made a remarkable revival since the shares were hammered by the supermarket price war and the big boys’ fixation with convenience stores. It was felt in many quarters that this two-pronged attack on corner shops – important customers of Booker – would knock their trading returns and possibly encourage some shop proprietors to scan supermarket shelves rather than seek bargains at cash-and-carry warehouses. Not only has Booker fought off such a danger but its appeal to caterers has continued to flourish, as have its various delivery services.

For some time, Booker has been the portfolio’s outstanding performer. But I must confess to worries when the shares fell from a peak of 176.5p in March – when the supermarket price war erupted – to around 115p in September. I even contemplated the unthinkable, selling my most successful investment. I’m glad I held on.
