I think it's a little more complex than that Lauders.

There's a 3 year release cycle that skews sales somewhat. Year 1 New 40k Edition, Year 2 New AoS Edition, Year 3 Other various Games new releases (Horus Heresy or new paint etc).

This FY is Year 2 in the cycle so Q125 was a really tough comparable as 40k new edition released in Q124 is by far the most anticipated new release. My own view is GAW had an exceptional Q225 this year to produce the great numbers posted in the November update. The successful release of the Space Marine 2 video game led to increased GAW website traffic in Oct & Nov.

The 40k release schedule in H2 appears much stronger than in H1 so should drive core sales. for example The Death Corps of Krieg sold out completely on this weeks pre-order weekend which is a good sign.

I think GAW's conservative reporting style and guidance does somtimes lead to short term negative responses to results as it can look expensive compared with lowball f/c's of growth.

Why do people feel the share price hasn’t moved up with the Amazon news? Logically I can only assume the entire upside was baked in (although doesn’t quite make sense) or that the market perceives the downside of this step is broadly equal to the upside (ie if the productions are pants). Any other explanation?

Thanks for your reply.

You missed my point about "mark to market bonuses" - I was not referring to the directors or staff , but instead to those institutional investors. Just googled the major shareholders as at 31/8 about 35% declared as interest over 3% and Baillie Gifford top of that list with 10.35%.

They are the likely beneficiaries of any move up to the FTSE 100
And yes my comment allows for the boost to the share price for getting into the FTSE being potentially transitory, but the city spivs will not care if they get part of an end of year bonus linked to GW. If it goes down next year or drops out of the FTSE well a bird in the hand and all that.

As for the CEO why did they make this announcement a week or 2 early ?

As I said I fully endorse looking after a business and letting the share price look after itself. I abhor most company share buybacks as most of the justification is about managing the share price instead of investing in growing a business. But this snippet of info is not that. It cost nothing. It was going to be released soon enough anyway and unless someone comes up with a definitive reason otherwise I still hold the FTSE reshuffle as a plausible incentive to go early.

What a great start to a post… “I’m learning here” … me too and hopefully all of us.

Advantages of being in FTSE100 a) main one (as you suggest) is all the Funds that buy into the stock …passive/FTSE 100 index linked are obliged but also many actively managed funds b) inclusion can create a large and more stable pool of buyers and holders …kind of underpins the share price to some extent c) not sure how true this is but perhaps more media exposure being considered more “blue chip”. Hold in mind on all of these reasons that the upside may already be priced in by the market so far from a given that share price will rise if it does happen (and perhaps will drop a little if it doesn’t for same reason).

Presumably then you can tell me who owns the shares ? Who owns the company?
I have not looked at the share register and don't know if the CEO owns a majority - but I suspect not.
If I am correct , it does not really matter if he does not like writing - the owners will want to see the share price rise and if that comes with FTSE 100 entry all well and good.

To blanket dismiss the possibility their hands were guided - there is a whole Board of Directors running the company not just one - when others (institutions I guess) actually own the company - I'll try not to be rude - is potentially naive.

Of course he wants to get on with running the company and many times I have argued its the job of a CEO to run the company NOT the share price. Run the company properly and the share price will take care of itself.
But the coincidence of releasing this news - not in full and early when they normally release a few days after the FTSE reshuffle cannot be ignored.

The owners may be looking forward to their mark to market Xmas bonus and may have suggested that the news was released in time to help that happen - they have no qualms about that.

Games Workshop issued an upbeat trading report this morning which has sent the share price surging up to new record highs. Trading since the last update on 18 September 2024 is ahead of expectations. The Board's estimate of the results for the six months to 1 December 2024, at actual rates, is core revenue of not less than £260 million versus 2023/24: £235.6 million (+10.4%) and licensing revenue of not less than £30 million...

Obviously the institutions have different pricing to the retail investors but there was a spike of buying ahead of the ex-div date and some selling when it went ex-div, the price dropping by more than the dividend, now it is creeping up again.

I think timing the market is another mugs game, one which seems perfectly easy using a rear view mirror but is just impossible looking at today's market. Look at any given share today and ask what is it going to do tomorrow, in a month, in a year; go up, go down, stay the same? We retail investors can never know. Buy and hold is the only game for small fry ("time in the market").

That said, there are always anomalies, sometimes a share goes up or down for no apparent reason or for reasons which don't make sense, if you are confident in your scepticism then it may be a good selling or buying opportunity but it is still a gamble.

I always look at the fallers and risers pages and check any large movements, sometimes they are over-reactions. A couple of years ago, UPGS (now ULTP) had a sharp fall based on a 'revenues might be a bit flat' RNS. That seemed overdone to me so I got some. They went down for a couple of days but I was in profit in a few weeks, my holding has now nearly tripled in value and I have also had about 1/3 of my purchase price in dividends. I continue to hold because I think their business model is sound.

Back on topic, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bid for GAW from a major US media company. Were there any such rumours I'd probably sell into any rise because I couldn't see a bidding war happening and if the bid came to nothing there would be a share price drop.

I commented here on Sept 10 "if you do a google trends search of Warhammer 40k, it just went vertical up. share price asleep at the wheels, as usual". Thankfully, not only I commented but also it seems the moment the share price woke up and has gone up ever since. Cannot complain since I also made a big top up to the position on that day :)

Not sure but its going to move the GAW share price and looking forward to the special dividends!

and since North American sales are greater than UK they should benefit from the US consumer with higher than average disposable income still going strong, plus US revenues while paying UK wages to produce items. Still, that did not prevent GAW share price to fall below pre-covid highs.

Edison is the last on the room who need to downgrade, surprised it is taking them so long.
