Franchise Brands Share Discussion Threads

Chart looking good all the way to £2.50

Franchise Brands plc, a multi-brand franchisor, issued a trading update for the FY ended 31st December 2022. The Board expects the Group's revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS for the year ended 31 December 2022 to be slightly ahead of recently-increased current consensus market expectations – these are for revenue of £98.75m, adjusted EBITDA of £14.73m and adjusted EPS of 7.70p. Both top line and EPS are still growing robustly, the share price is already in a solid uptrend. Valuation looks a little stretched with forward PE ratio at 26.4x. But the trailing 12 month PE multiple has trade up to 40x-50x on many occasions over the past 5 years. A cheaper price would be nice, but may not be achievable near term. Certainly worth owning for the longer run given the growth performance that is being delivered. BUY...

Chart breakout confirmed next stop £2.20

[trt] 01/12/2022 09:30

Might take advantage of the dip and grab a few more for my holding. Chart still suggests a breakout.

[davr0s] 30/11/2022 18:05

Maybe but to me it's just a breakout until there is evidence otherwise. Held for 2 years now and nice to see it moving higher . Tbh I hope it's not a takeover as I want to see it move much higher, but time will tell

[trt] 30/11/2022 16:54

Big trades going through something is afoot. Got to be in it to win it !!

[trt] 28/11/2022 13:17

Interesting move upwards today perhaps a takeover approach

[trt] 27/10/2022 13:37

Looking good. Got to be in it to win it no point investors just watching the price rise.

Km18, market cap is £148m, not £148b (£144b).

Decent company.

That low market cap (or lack of daily trades)is the only reason I don’t own any shares.

[trt] 03/3/2022 09:55

Good results today 36% increase in the dividend too.

[km18] 17/2/2022 18:19

...from last year...

Franchise Brands plc is a multi-brand franchise business, current market cap around £144b. The  group currently has 5 principal franchise brands in the UK with over 425 franchisees. The focus is on established brands which can benefit from the group’s shared support services, specialist sector expertise, management experience and group resources.

Todays H1 2021 trading update was reasonable, if not stellar. But the Board is pleased with progress made over the past 6 months. Interim results for H1 will be published on 22 July....from WealthOracleAM

[sphere25] 25/1/2021 08:31

Interesting holding rns with Slater having breached the 3% threshold to move to a position of 6.27%. The prominent value seeker clearly smells value.

Price clearly rangebound atm.

All imo

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast recently and part of our discussion includes FRAN which I think looks pretty tempting. This is an unusual episode because for the first time we had a Special Guest on the show and the response has been hugely favourable (here’s a clue: he’s not the usual ‘Guru’ that all Podcasts have).

And as always we chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research and a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing and Portfolio Management.

Anyway, if you use Youtube, Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 40) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted, not like all the stuffy financial fodder you are probably more used to !!

Happy New Lockdown !! WD

Excellent update profits ahead of market forecasts.

[energeticbacker] 28/10/2020 16:22

Reassuring update, although the shares remain 40% adrift of February highs but the c£90m valuation still looks quite full to Investor's Champion.

[ymaheru] 17/9/2020 21:57

No idea. I’ve been trying to find out :(

[trt] 16/9/2020 14:58

Large rise today possible takeover approach ??

So, a few days ago, Nigel Wray co-signed a letter addressed to the Boards of all listed companies asking them to protect the rights of individual shareholders by not placing shares with institutional shareholders at a discount.

Yesterday Franchise Brands, in which he is a director and substantial shareholder do exactly that.

I guess it is a case of complain publicly, but if you have the opportunity to benefit personally, eat your fill at the tough.

Bloody two faced
