Ok only allowed dog walkers on the pier for the winter Oct to March when it's virtually empty.

Should be a quid, some people fail to realise that this company is responsible for maintaining the structure and safety of this site. Where do you go nowadays for nowt, Bolton Abbey charge £15 to park your car, may be private land but you can park for free if you where and walk the River Wharfe. But they do that because the paths need maintaining, no different to Brighton Pier.

I agree - they should charge admission.

Blimey, i went blackpool last year(not sure why) and the free admisson at Blackpool please beach is no longer. Its like £15 or so just to enter.

50p or a £1 would suffice

I'm sure they've looked at it. It could be that it would cause badwill among patrons or discourage families with 4 or 5 together... they'll just look at it and go nah we can go to a bar on the beach side ...

They should allow dogs on the Pier, more people. Worthing allows dogs and always busy with dog walkers.We have a dog, so don't go on Brighton Pier, opportunity loss for this company.

September was already reported as a good month for the Pier itself - with the record warm weather in October that has to be good for the Pier surely?

I think they should start the share buyback or at least have some of the directors make a share purchase.

This train strike will make it all good. The weather and fire cannot be helped but this damn train strike MUST be sorted soon. Its killing so many businesses...

Agreed, its ridicuously cheap.

Certainly not going bust - its a cash rich business - especially the golf (Gross profit of 99%)

The same situation pre-Covid, these rail strikes need to cease, but they reported in their results prior to 2020 how much the southern link is effected. Folk are unable to make realistic plans for a day trip when you have rolling strikes.

[thecroots] 25/9/2023 07:57

Really need the train strikes to end. Didnt realise it affected them as much.

bb:- Predictive spelling messed U up.

“Huge cash cow” huh

Yet it’s swung to a £1m h1 loss.

But done worry as Luke has a list of excuses even longer than he had at cake.

Bloodbath today imo.

Profit warning - Possible markdown on opening but as thecoots notes all down points already advised.
" Whilst the board has been encouraged to see improved trading in the first 3 weeks of September, macroeconomic challenges continue to impact the business. This, together with the weaker than expected summer trading period, has led the Board to conclude that operating profit for the current financial year is likely to be below current expectations."

Correct. They could tender for 10% of shares and directors and big shareholders - including Luke Johnson - could sell in proportion to this, such that they don’t reduce free float any further

If i was PIER, and given that they have already had a vote approved at the last AGM for a SHAREBUYBACK, i would be buying a few shares back at these cheap prices. Even if its to stop someone buying it out on the cheap....

PIER is nearly debt free and is a huge cash cow.

[kemche] 25/7/2023 09:38

Luke Johnson should merge it with CAKE.

[dartboard1] 25/7/2023 08:11

Not a good morning but topped up. Now hope for some good weather and they should have events for the World Cup. Trading well below book value now

[shares9876] 25/7/2023 07:46

Takeover target for sure at this price - but Luke Johnson wouldn’t let it go at this price
