04/5/2018 12:23	robinnicolson: Shares magazine article: "Peel Hunt analyst Charles Hall increases his year to May 2018 sales forecast by £6m to £217m and his adjusted profit before tax estimate rises by £4m to £74m, although sales and profits will reduce to £200.2m and £58m next year due to demanding comparatives and the impact of currency." The article quotes Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell: "Ten years ago it would have seemed unimaginable that Games Workshop would end up a FTSE 250 company. Interest in tiny fantasy figures had waned following a strong period inspired by the success of the Lord of the Rings films. It battled profit warnings rather than miniature warlords." "A decade on and its share price has increased more than 12-fold and the company is sitting in the prestigious mid-cap stock market index. The business has struck a chord with a new generation of fantasy fans and is engaging with customers via multiple channels. While Warhammer figures may not be to everyone’s taste, Games Workshop has proved that it is possible to be a retail success if you know how to connect with your market and have the right products and superior service levels."

15/3/2018 15:55	bigbigdave: Richard Beddard on iii, advfn won't let me post link! Games Workshop (GAW): £23.40 The inclusion of Games Workshop (GAW) in my ISA portfolio may confound regular readers because I recently reduced the number of Games Workshop shares held in the model Share Sleuth portfolio I manage for Money Observer magazine. I decided to rebalance the portfolio after Games Workshop had grown to be its biggest holding, not because I doubted the quality of the business. As the owner of the popular Warhammer gaming and modelling franchise, I believe it, to a larger than usual extent, controls its own destiny. The biggest risk is in the share price as within a year Games Workshop has gone from being unloved to highly fancied. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
01/3/2018 21:12	nod: Entry into the 350 High Yield Index is a good sign.I assume this is due to the additional 1.45% dividend of 35p in February in addition to the fall in share price making the yield higher. It highlights that GAW is not over-priced on fundamentals. All eyes will be on the next update to see if growth has continued. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
15/1/2018 14:50	cockerhoop: Richard Beddard Melt up at Games Workshop Games Workshop's half-year results, reported on 9 January, were as fantastic as they were unexpected, at least by me, only a few years ago. It earned more in the six months to November 2017 than it did in the previous financial year. That year was a record year. Games Workshop has always scored highly because it's unique, there is no other tabletop wargaming and modelling business approaching it in size, and Games Workshop controls almost every aspect of the Warhammer "hobby" it owns, from manufacturing the figurines to running the stores and publishing the books and magazines that perpetuate the lore. A few years ago, in annual reports and at the annual general meeting, I sensed the company was disinterested in promoting the gaming aspect of the hobby which acts as a gateway to the more lucrative modelling aspect. It was dismissive of customers and investors who complained it should perhaps listen to them. Games Workshop seemed introverted, focused on efficiency improvements rather than growing the hobby. Those efficiency improvements weren't a bad thing, they've contributed to a dramatic boost in profitability, but as a long-term investor I was concerned about the hobby's future. Since then, the company's confounded me by revitalising its two principal gaming systems, sponsoring a major games convention, and for the first time I remember its half-year report talks of customer-focus, and interactions on its newish Facebook pages and Warhammer Community website. The shift in one number is, perhaps, even more impressive than the 178% increase in profit for the half-year compared to the same period a year ago, and that is the rise in the share price. Since its most recent trough in June 2016, the share price has risen nearly 500%. That's why, despite a run of amazing results, Games Workshop is only tenuously in the buyzone, scoring 7 out of 10. The Decision Engine is designed to protect me from from over-enthusing about companies on high valuations, even if I admire the business. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
12/1/2018 16:01	simso: I appreciate reading Nod's wisdom on this, with 23 years of knowledge. There are indeed a range of potential outcomes. At one extreme is the Current Broker forecast, requiring only 64p of earnings in the second half, barely much different to second half LY...and by implication treating a sizeable element (perhaps 40p+) of the 97p delivered in H1 as being "one off" / spike relating to Warhammer launch. At the other extreme, any Forecast which takes the first half 97p and extrapolates up using an average 1st/2nd half split is not recognising any element of "spike" in the 97p at all. I suspect the true answer is somewhere between, and on reading this Board (and particularly the wisdom of Nod and his 23 year involvement)I lean more toward believing that the more of rise is sales and profit is closer to the "sustainable" rather than "spike" extreme. Two reasons: First the fact that GAW already had very strong business momentum leading into the Warhammer launch lastr Summer, for all the reasons discussed extensively on here relating to Marketing, Online development, Customer Engagement etc; the share price was recognising this by increasing around 150% between June 16 and June 17. Secondly, I hope and believe the new Warhammer, as an expensive and multi-faceted hobby, will create a steady flow of incremental sales. It would be good to compare against any previous Successful Launches, so see if they "sustained" or "spiked". I am not sure LOTR in early 2000's is a good comparative; It was a phenomenon and in the nations consciousness when the films were out, and am sure GAW benefitted from that in a more temporary way from all the surrounding publicity.

11/12/2017 13:50	cockerhoop: Hard to tell, the next RNS is likely to be the Interims which will only add flesh to the December 1st TS (last year contained no outlook statement). Shortly after that I'd expect the Christmas TS which will probably be more influential........BWTFDIK :-) From this weeks IC: Low Risk Momentum Portfolio Games Workshop All too often, corporate recovery plans involve desperate cost cutting, without addressing the underlying problems in the business. Not so for Games Workshop (GAW). The stars aligned for the game and model retailer when it initiated its digital push at the same time as a wave of nostalgia for fantasy figurines – perhaps sparked by the Game of Thrones TV series – swept the globe. The result is that both profits and the group’s share price have more than doubled in the past year and investors who bought into the recovery strategy in late 2016 are probably feeling pretty smug. True, some of the top-line momentum has come from helpful currency movements – GAW generates most of its revenues outside of the UK – but that has been supported by underlying sales growth of 21 per cent. Operating profits grew 85 per cent in constant currencies in the year to May 2017 and the momentum has continued in the current financial year. But still the shares carry a forward price-to-earnings multiple of just 13 times, which is way too low considering the continued stellar growth. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
19/10/2017 09:23	nod: The trading update so far in advance of December would suggest to me that GAW is smashing its previous forecasts and furthermore doesn't think that today's share price is above valuation - otherwise they could be accused of pumping an already inflated share price - and GAW has never done that.GAW has always been ultra-conservative with its RNS and foreword statements. Like an army on the battleground, GAW prefers to surprise. So this RNS strikes me as an exceptional warning that profits are going to be huge..."TRADING STATEMENTFollowing on from the Group's update in September, sales to date have continued strongly. Given the high operational gearing of the business, any movement in sales is directly reflected in profits. Sales and profits to date therefore continue to be well above the same period in the prior year." Read Full Thread Follow Reply
12/10/2017 04:58	nod: This is not an entirely accurate write-up and is misleading in places. MF has consistently been wrong in its analysis of and prediction for GAW. As MF now predict GAW will make me fabulously rich from this point forth then I will go along with them. One important point they do get wrong is the inference that GAW has gone nowhere in 20 years. GAW has produced excellent dividends during many of these 20 years and stupendous capital growth at times. GAW is not a buy-and-go-to-sleep for 20 years. I can’t think of many companies that have been. Warren Buffet likes companies that have an unassailable moat around them and Buffet’s “Moat Test” is a key part of his investment strategy. GAW has been good at building moats, as you might expect given their business of battle strategies. http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2017/10/11/2-small-cap-growth-stocks-that-could-make-you-fabulously-rich/ 2 small-cap growth stocks that could make you fabulously rich Alan Oscroft \| Wednesday, 11th October, 2017 After years of volatility and no overall price gain in nearly 20 years, shares in Games Workshop Group (LSE: GAW) have taken off like a rocket over the last year — they’ve more than trebled in value in 12 months to 2,030p. After a gradual climb, June’s trading update ahead of full-year results inspired a spike, and since then it’s just been up and up. In the end, the year to May 2017 saw a 127% rise in pre-tax profit coupled with an 84% hike in operating cash generation. Earnings per share more than doubled to 95.1p, and the dividend was lifted by 85% to 74p per share. Chief executive Kevin Rountree described the year as a “fun and exciting” one, suggesting that “prospects for the business are good” — and at least the second part of that seems modest. Strong margins A sales boost from the fall in sterling has certainly helped, as most of the company’s sales are overseas, but I see another long-term cash cow here too. Games Workshop’s margins are high, with a very impressive gross margin of 72.4% for 2017, and it really doesn’t require a lot of capital expenditure to keep it going. And though it’s taken a long time for the share price to get moving, the company has been paying out handsome dividends for years. This year is already off to a good start, with Q1 sales and profits “well above the same period in the prior year” and the firm telling us we should be seeing expectations-busting results this year. Forecast dividends of 100p would provide a yield of 4.9% with the shares on a P/E of 15, and that looks good to me. A million by retirement Shares like these two tucked away in your SIPP give you the hope of enjoying growth and dividends for years to come after you retire, and there are more top shares out there that can do the same.
