At last years high it would have been on a P/E of 33. That's pretty heady when forecast profit growth is minimal.

50% fall now from year high yet it's performance is above last year shows how poor this market is when this is down on that trading update.

GAW is a manufacturer. This differentiates it from most High Street retailers. Our stores are primarily for marketing and recruiting new customers. We don't spend millions on TV adverts or sponsorships like many retailers. For decades our stores were loss-making hobby-stores, with profits coming from online and trade sales.With the store changes in recent years, the stores have been profitable.

Games Workshop's 400 branches stand out "amid the carcasses of failed retailers" on the high street, not just because they are packed with thousands of miniature figurines, but because they are generally packed with customers. The shares have almost halved since September, but this seems mostly due to short-term issues such as rising costs and the war in Ukraine. The firm's fans are diehards, the business is sensibly run, and it is diversifying into lucrative video games. Sunday Times

In the absence of news, GAW is moving with the whole market rather than on its own merit. Some stocks are falling because their business is suffering. This negative sentiment feeds through to other companies. Touch wood, that's not the GAW story.

I see Kevin pushing the boat out with his 0.03% huh. The trend is your friend. And its all down ;-)

I was at the UK Games Expo on the weekend and the Games Workshop stand was busy all weekend. Quite an interesting setup free model and painting lessons as an introduction and they each stage quietly guided the mostly younger gamers towards the paid for stuff. As the always say the first hit is free.

Bearbull compares a few companies in this difficult climate.

But what we deduce from the table is what we should instinctively know – that Games Workshop and Spirax-Sarco are brilliant businesses, ...

It's About Time Games Workshop Made a Live-Action Movie
BY JON HOLMES
PUBLISHED 1 DAY AGO
With almost 40 whole years of history, it's high time the Warhammer brand turned the table(top)s on the competition and made a live-action movie.

I don't think they have GW stores but supplied to Indy hobby stores and via online. Will be a small revenue hit, as will the continuing lockdowns in China.

Against this the strength of the US dollar will provide a tailwind to US sales on conversion to sterling.

Hadn't thought about the impact of recent events on English/Russian translators. Must be tricky for them.

Does GAW have any businesses to divest in Russia?

[nod] 18/5/2022 02:24

Last July, GW announced it was setting up an in-house translation team in Chinese and Russian to improve its offering.In March 2022, GW announced it was stopping all sales to Russia.Its unfortunate that this potential market has come to an end.

Henry Cavill has been candid in his big desire to be in a Warhammer TV series or movie. Eisenhorn would be a good role.

[cockerhoop] 14/5/2022 08:32

I think they're doing an excellent job in raising the exposure of the game. Whether it be the Hachette part works, Panini stickers, Macfarlane and JoyToy models, the animations and eventually the Eisenhorn series. Not forgetting the computer games especially the Nexon virtual world collaboration.

Described as "sufficiently grim, dark"What more could you want from a new product.

Magic The Gathering - 40K collaboration released on the 11th Aug. Should contribute to royalties in H123 along with exposing Warhammer to the vast MTG player base.
